Events Coordinator with Connected Minds

Connected Minds: Neural and Machine Systems for a Healthy, Just Society (2023-2030) combines York’s existing science and technology research ecosystem, and longstanding institutional strengths in the social sciences, arts, and humanities with Queen’s University’s complementary strengths in neuroscience, health, and artificial intelligence, as well as a substantial consortium of multi-sector partners. The Connected Minds vision is to co-create and co-lead socially responsible, community engaged research that produces innovative technologies, policies, and regulations that optimize the benefits and mitigate the risks of the new techno-social collective. Connected Minds will fund 35 strategic faculty hires, partner-focused seed, team, and prototyping grants, KM/commercialization events, and an ambitious multi-institutional micro-credential training program with 385 trainees and cross-sector stakeholders. All activities will require interdisciplinary participation, and we will prioritize projects that benefit Indigenous and other equity-deserving groups. With CFREF funding, Connected Minds will lead Canada and the world in the socially responsible creation and adoption of scientific and technological innovation to promote a healthy, resilient, and just techno-social collective.
