York Research Chair Information Session

The Strategic and Institutional Research Initiatives (SIRI) unit is hosting a York Research Chairs (YRC) Information Session in conjunction with the launch of the 2024-25 competition. The YRC program mirrors and complements the Canada Research Chairs program and recognizes researchers who have demonstrated excellence in research and scholarship and have made, or are poised to make, substantial contributions to research leadership. This year's competition will be limited to Connected Minds-based YRCs and Faculty-based YRCs.

Led by Dr. Mark Roseman, Director of SIRI, the session will provide an overview of the nomination process. It will also highlight changes to this year’s competition and provide guidance for developing an effective nomination package. While the session is designed primarily for administrators of the program at the Faculty level, interested applicants are welcome to attend. Please note Faculties will undertake their own internal nomination processes outside of the VPRI process.

Date: Wednesday, July 17, 2024
Time: 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
