Residents living in eastern Newfoundland are getting a chance to help identify research opportunities of strategic importance to the province.

Memorial University is holding a public consultation session on Wednesday, April 14, from 7-9 p.m., at the Clarenville Inn.

The feedback will help guide the development of a new research plan at Memorial which will support future growth in research at the university.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

Coffee/tea will be served at 6:30 p.m. Meetings beginning at 7 p.m. 

For those unable to attend the session, a short survey is available online at www.mun.ca/research/plan/.
