This training helps students reflect on their out-of-class experiences and effectively communicate their learning and skill development to peers, teachers, employers, and graduate schools.
Join us for a transformative experience that will help you confidently navigate the path toward becoming an independent graduate researcher. You’ll leave with practical advice, a stronger sense of direction, and the tools to succeed in the next phase of your academic career.
In a movement-based workshop, we propose an exploration of relational possibilities and their bodily expression, anchored in silence(s). Here, silence is not a rupture but a dynamic space of exchange between individuals sharing the same space-time.
In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to use Zotero, a desktop and web-based tool that you can use to organize the references you find in library catalogues and databases, insert citations in your papers, and prepare bibliographies or reference lists quickly and effectively, in a wide variety of citation styles (e.g. APA, MLA, Chicago, et cetera). We will look at how to integrate Zotero with Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs. We will also cover how to share folders and citations (e.g., for collaborative projects or to disseminate reading lists). No experience with Zotero is necessary.
This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to current graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Advance registration is required. What do you do during a poster session? What makes for a successful academic poster? In this workshop, we discuss the academic poster session, how to design a poster, and provide some tips for shining as you present your poster.
Walking Interludes is a reflective reading about walking, place, race, identity, and memory. In this reading, I share short excerpts from my field journal that I kept during my research visits to Belfast and Lahore.
This is an event composed of two artist presentations followed by a joint Q&A.
The term is finally over. Your grades are now starting to show on your student record! How do they look? How do you feel? Are you concerned? Are you disappointed? If so, this session is for you! Come learn about how you can manage this type of situation.
Come and get started with Arduino, a user-friendly microcontroller platform that will allow you to build anything from a weather station to a wearable electronics device. This session will provide a fun and friendly overview of electronics prototyping and programming for beginners.

This workshop aims to ensure that participants do not miss out on the little-known research tools and tricks which can be indispensable for effective graduate level research at Concordia in all subject areas.
This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to current graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. This workshop outlines key elements that contribute to effective presentations, including preparation, structure, and delivery.
This introductory workshop will provide you with the skills needed to design models for the Sandbox 3D printers. After completing this workshop you will be able to explain the basics of 3D printing and 3D design, design appropriately for 3D printing, modify an existing 3D design, and export a model for 3D design.
This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Advance registration is required. This workshop presents information to help you understand the contents and purpose of abstracts and essential writing strategies for crafting a summary of your work in the abstract format. The workshop includes activities that allow students to acquire writing strategies in an interactive environment, benefitting from peer feedback on their work.
In this session, we will use an open-source software that allows you to download and run large language models locally on standard computers. The software has a graphical interface to interact with the models without any coding, making this accessible to everyone in our community. We will learn to privately engage with open-source foundational models, such as Llama and Phi-3, and use them to interact with our own documents without sending any information to a cloud service. As we do the hands-on experience, we will learn core Artificial Intelligence concepts that will help you navigate the sea of information out there. This session is introductory and requires no coding skills or previous knowledge.
Bringing together professionals and experts in the fields of biomedical science and engineering research, clinical research and prevention, and community health research.
The objective of GEE is to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and recent advances in the field of geo-environmental engineering and to give students and young researchers the opportunity to present their work to a national and international and expert audience.
Applicable to graduate-level writers of all backgrounds, this workshop aims to provide participants with an understanding of the most common mistakes that lead to unconvincing, unclear writing.
A quick and simple introduction to the Linux operating system. During the session we will practice Linus commands by building a setup for capturing photos on Raspberry Pi computers (provided). This workshop is for beginners with little to no experience working with this free and open-source OS.
A 3-day writing retreat to boost your academic writing.
Join us for an interactive workshop based on the new book Beyond Molotovs. A Visual Handbook of Anti-Authoritarian Strategies.
