Vice-President Research & Innovation Robert Haché will share a first draft of York’s new Strategic Research Plan at an open forum being held on Feb. 12, from 2 to 4 pm in the Senate Chamber, N940 Ross Building.

During the open forum, Haché will report back to the community about the consultations to date. He will introduce a draft of the eventual plan and begin the process of soliciting feedback on the document.

“I am pleased to report back to the York community with respect to the Strategic Research Plan consultations to date that have broadly engaged the community and solicited an enthusiastic response.  This open forum will provide an opportunity for us to share a first draft based on these consultations and to launch this next phase of consultation with the community on the Plan,” said Haché.  “We look forward to an engaging discussion.”
