Explore thought-provoking ideas and innovative interdisciplinary research at Concordia’s Individualized Program (INDI) Research Day!

This annual event celebrates the ingenuity of INDI's graduate-level students, who are motivated to pursue research questions that push the boundaries of traditional disciplinary thinking.

The INDI program is known for its unique and interdisciplinary approach, which encourages each graduate student to pursue their own research interests and questions. As a result, our collective research challenges the way we understand the world and the questions we ask. At INDI Research Day, you'll have the opportunity to discover the projects our students are working on, ask questions and gain new perspectives.

How can you participate? Join us in person or online (11am - 12:30pm only) by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
