Research & Innovation Week 2022

Welcome to R&I Week 2022


A panel event during research and innovation week

Lakehead University’s 2022 Research and Innovation Week is coming soon! In March 2022, our Thunder Bay and Orillia campuses will once again be celebrating together virtually.   

2022 Theme:

Planetary stewardship is the act of respecting and caring for our home, Earth. It is clear that humans need to change their ways if we are to be honest stewards. Some areas, like addressing climate change, require more action now. This change ranges from local to global settings, to enhance the combined sustainability of human well-being and the planet's ecosystems. As we are confronted with environmental and social inequalities, this is a time to listen, learn, explore, discover and act. This is our planet, our home, and research and innovation can be a catalyst for change.
