Overview:

Horizon Europe is the European Union’s funding program for research and innovation with a budget of €95.5 billion over 7 years.

Under its Pillar II, Horizon Europe funds collaborative research and innovation projects by international teams of researchers to tackle global challenges in areas such as health, climate change, energy and digital economy. As of 2024, as Canada becomes associated to Pillar II, Canadian partners in such research consortia are eligible for direct funding from the European Union.

Watch this information session to learn more about Horizon Europe and how this funding opportunity may be relevant to you.

Inclusivity is essential to creating an enriching and innovative environment where all individuals can thrive and contribute to scientific advancements. In this session we will share some practices we employ to create and foster a research environment where all individuals feel valued, respected, and supported. We have found these practices to enhance our ability to communicate, collaborate, and solve problems within our research team. Our discussion will focus on relatively easy-to-implement, sustainable, and effective approaches that contribute to an inclusive and efficient lab environment. 

Mark your calendars! On April 8, 2024, Kingston and a lucky few areas in southern Ontario will witness a once-in-a-lifetime event: a total solar eclipse. 

Timing

• Start of partial eclipse: 2:09 pm
• Total eclipse: 3:22 - 3:25 pm
• End of partial eclipse: 4:34 pm

The 2024 eclipse will be visible from Mexico, the United States, and Canada. For the first time in almost 700 years, Kingston is in the path of totality, or where the Sun will be completely blocked out by the Moon. This means many people will be flocking to the area to view this wondrous celestial spectacle, so planning needs to start ASAP!

For Kingstonians, this coming total solar eclipse will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime event: as mentioned, the last eclipse was almost 700 years ago in 1349, and the next one won't be for another 375 years in 2399!
