EPID@Work Research Into Action Conference 2024

The EPID@Work (Enhancing the Prevention of Injury and Disability at Work) Research Institute would like to invite you to our upcoming Research Into Action Conference on October 22, 2024.

Please join us as we bring together researchers, community members, employers and workers to explore the importance of regional research and collaboration. Hosted by the EPID@Work Research Institute at Lakehead University, our Research Into Action Conference will include community panels discussing why research matters in Northwestern Ontario, research presentations from EPID@Work scientists and researchers, and networking opportunities with professionals interested in occupational health & safety, disability prevention, and local workforce issues.

The Research Into Action Conference will be held on October 22, 2024 from 8:30 AM - 1:30 PM at the Italian Cultural Centre in Thunder Bay, ON. The conference is free to attend, but we are asking for donations to the Regional Food Distribution Association in lieu of a registration fee. Cash or non-perishable goods can be donated at the door. A complimentary lunch buffet and refreshments will be provided for all attendees.

Ultimately, the focus is to create understanding of why researcher-community collaboration matters and how regional research and knowledge transfer can impact Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario as a whole.

If you have any questions or would like to share the event poster with your network, please contact Ryley at epidevents@lakeheadu.ca or rafingle@lakeheadu.ca. To learn more about our institute, visit www.lakeheadu.ca/epid.

We look forward to seeing you there!
