Organized Research Units Information Sessions

Join us for an engaging and informative series of sessions that highlight the role of Organized Research Units (ORUs) in advancing research at York University. Each session will feature brief presentations by ORU directors, offering insights into the research activities and areas of focus within each ORU; opportunities for faculty and student involvement; and ways ORUs can support your research and foster interdisciplinary collaboration. The presentations will be followed by an open Q&A session. All faculty and students are warmly invited to attend.
