In mid-January, UPEI will host a roundtable of interdisciplinary graduate students to discuss the role of the social sciences, arts, and humanities in stimulating and advancing innovation in Canada.

This roundtable will be a conversation amongst interdisciplinary UPEI graduate students, and led by UPEI graduate students. Key points, themes, and insights from the conversation will be captured, and translated into a final report co-written by graduate students and UPEI staff, which will add UPEI’s graduate student voices to the national conversation in a final overall project report of all 12 participating post-secondary institutions.

We are seeking current UPEI graduate students to serve as facilitators (2), reporters (2), and participants (10). 

Details of the event, expected time commitment, responsibilities, and compensation for each role are outlined in the Google form. Current graduate students from any program who are interested in any of the roles are invited to submit an expression of interest (EOI) via the Google form: Expression of Interest - Innovation by Design Roundtable 

EOI deadlines:

• Facilitators and reporters: EOIs are due by January 1 at 11:59 pm
• Participants: EOIs are due by January 7 at 11:59 pm

For more information about the roundtable or any of the roles, please reach out to Kendra Mellish, graduate programs officer, at kmellish@upei.ca
