• Receptions (social/networking opportunities with a research focus);

• Forums (presentations of research);

• Symposia and workshops (education/mentoring which may include outside speakers).

In addition, the ORC has advertised events that have the potential for research collaboration. These can be found on our Calendar of Events.
