Event details

The Crossing Boundaries Symposium - Mobilizing STEAM to Tackle Climate Change is an innovative initiative at the University of Ottawa designed to catalyze interdisciplinary collaboration by bringing together artists, scientists/engineers, students and members of the public. Through keynote sessions, panel discussion, and a hands-on workshop, you will explore how the integration of artistic and scientific disciplines can foster new ways of thinking and open pathways to actionable climate solutions.
