Memorial is hosting a town hall to gain feedback on the development of the university’s first Innovation Strategy.

Members of the university community and wider community are invited to the hour-long virtual consultation.

The session will be hosted via Webex.

Dr. Paula Mendonça, director of innovation and entrepreneurship and Dr. Carlos Bazan, engineering chair in entrepreneurship in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, will facilitate the town hall.

On June 15, Memorial announced plans to create an innovation blueprint. The goal is to outline ways Memorial can enhance its support of the many facets of innovation, including innovation programming, social and cultural innovation, entrepreneurship and innovation-driven research.

In addition to the consultation, feedback can be sent to innovation@mun.ca and via an online survey. To learn more about Memorial’s Innovation Strategy planning process, please see here.
