The event takes place Tuesday, July 26 from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Foran Greene Room at City Hall.
You might like to learn more about an upcoming research project by the Waterloo Institute for Social Innovation and Resilience (WISIR). Funded by a Learning Innovation and Teaching Enhancement (LITE) Grant (administered by the Centre for Teaching Excellence and the Associate Vice-President, Academic’s Office), WISIR will run a transdisciplinary, participatory lab in which students and researchers from across faculties work with community stakeholders on a ‘wicked problem’ to prototype and test system-changing solutions.
Join our information session on June 23 at 12pm EDT. Discover more about our research questions, delivery model, learning platform, and provide feedback with Principal Investigator Sean Geobey and WISIR’s Innovation Lab Manager Meg Ronson.
In a letter sent on 28 April 2022, 38 Member States of the WHO European Region requested the WHO Regional Director for Europe to convene a special session of the Regional Committee to consider the health situation in Ukraine, and the wider consequences of the ongoing war on health matters in the Region and beyond.
The Regional Committee is the highest decision-making body of the 53 Member States of the Region. It normally meets once a year to shape the political commitment to improving the health and health conditions of the people living in the Region, and to guide the actions undertaken by WHO/Europe.
This request for an urgent special session is triggered under Rule 5 of the Rules of Procedure of the Regional Committee, which provides the possibility to convene the Regional Committee within 30 days at the request of at least 8 Member States.
