About the Centre
The CCRH at Concordia University consists of an extensive group of active members who conduct health research across biological, psychological, and sociocultural levels of understanding. Members are united in their focus on people who suffer from, or are at risk for, physical and mental illness.
About the conference
Recent work from the core members' labs will be presented during symposia. Presentations centered around theoretical and methodological issues in health research will be led by guest speakers and CCRH Members, providing opportunities for informal Q&A and discussion. Two panel sessions - symposia - will be held to discuss the work of faculty, graduate and undergraduate students. During the afternoon, a poster presentation will be held. Rapid 3-minute presentations of the students’ work will be available online as well as in-person.
