Research Webinars

The July Implementation Science webinar is titled "Implementation Science and Health Equity: Current State, Challenges, and Future Directions".Join us for this month’s Implementation Science Academy webinar with Dr Guillaume Fontaine. As an implementation scientist, Dr Fontaine navigates the complex terrain of bringing scientific advancements into everyday use, devising strategies to overcome barriers and ensure that research findings effectively enhance healthcare and societal outcomes. In this webinar, he will share his expertise in the methodological approaches to support the adoption of evidence-based interventions, practices, programs, and policies in healthcare.Dr Guillaume Fontaine serves as an Assistant Professor of Implementation Science at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He currently holds a Visiting Fellow position at the Kirby Institute, UNSW Sydney. Dr Fontaine earned his PhD from the University of Montreal and subsequently completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Centre for Implementation Research of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. His research program is dedicated to advancing implementation research with a focus on infectious diseases, with a focus on health equity.The Implementation Science Academy is presenting webinars each month throughout 2024. The Implementation Science webinar series aims to support researchers, clinicians and consumers to develop an understanding of how to weave implementation science into your research. Each webinar will focus on a topic relevant to implementation science and include a practical case study from an academic, consumer or clinician researcher.

Our Forest Policy Research Network welcomes you to join a webinar to hear about our ongoing research across the Eastern and South Eastern Europe. This event is the first in the series where you get to meet all EFI Research Networks!Join us on 10 June at 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM CET to hear about the forest bioeconomy governance under climate change – Eastern and South Eastern European perspectives. During the webinar we will get to hear from three experts:Jitka Janová, Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic. Motivations behind the decision-making about mixed forests in the Czech RepublicZoran Poduška, Institute of Forestry, Belgrade, Serbia. Traditional intrapreneurial concept as a proxy in the new bio-economy business model for State-owned forest enterprises.Mariana Melnykovych, University of Applied Sciences Bern, Switzerland.

This webinar will cover the importance of context when exploring adolescent movement behaviors. Using examples from the Texas School Physical Activity and Nutrition (Texas SPAN) survey, this webinar will present and discuss findings from two recent studies, one that examines the associations between physical activity context and children meeting daily physical activity guidelines, and another that explores the differential effects of electronic media on sleep among 8th and 11th grade Texas adolescents.

The main PxP conference will take place again in Fall of 2024. Ahead of this, we are delighted to launch a webinar series in collaboration with the Patient Engagement Research Ambassadors (PERA) at CIHR-IMHA. We are very grateful to PERA for developing four webinars that will be held virtually across 2024 on the PxP Zoom platform. As with the main conference, the sessions will be completely free to attend and a recording will be shared afterwards. Closed captioning is available and live translated captions in over 30 languages.

Learning Objectives:Understand the fundamental concepts behind the use of EthOss in implantology, exploring the reasoning and traditional scientific approaches involved in the research process.Explore how AI has been utilised to study the impact of EthOss, including the generation of accurate illustrations and detailed descriptions related to immune cells and foreign body reactions.Explore the role of AI, specifically Natural Language Processing (NLP), in processing studies related to osteoimmunology and implantology, and why NLP should be considered well-suited for this purpose.Gain insights into the methodology of using AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLM), to conduct literature searches, formulate research questions, and generate hypotheses in the field of implantology.Learners will be able to:Investigate the practical implications of EthOss in implantology, focusing on its potential as more than just a graft but as a catalyst for healing, and understand the specific scenarios where EthOss can be beneficial.Examine the methodology of incorporating EthOss into the research process, including the formulation of research questions, and hypotheses and how AI, without complex programming, aids in extracting valuable insights from studies.Explore the long-term implications of EthOss in implantology, considering its potential impact on improving patient outcomes, reducing recovery times, and advancing the field of osteoimmunology.Discover the practical application of AI in the analysis of Beta-tricalcium Phosphate and Calcium Sulphate in the context of foreign body reaction modulation.

Lum Kastrati is an MD by training and a visiting researcher at Stanford University as part of his PhD journey in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Bern. In this session you will be informed on the opportunities and challenges of choosing the research path after medical school.

ESG-related regulatory movements and the evolving priorities of key stakeholders are pressurizing firms to report on sustainability metrics and improve sustainability performance. As organizations realise that internal expertise and bandwidth are not enough to navigate a quickly evolving sustainability landscape, they are increasingly seeking support from ESG and sustainability consulting firms for their sustainability journeys. Based on our Green Quadrant report, this webinar will provide exclusive insights into the top ESG and sustainability consulting providers in the industry. During this session, Verdantix experts will evaluate 17 of the most prominent ESG and sustainability consulting providers across 5 capability and 6 momentum categories, offering analysis based on a robust and respected methodology. Attendees will: Gain in-depth knowledge about the leading ESG and sustainability consulting providers and their capabilities Understand how these providers can help your organizations navigate regulatory complexities and stakeholder demands Explore the current state of the market including buyer priorities and preferences

A metagenome is a sequencing sample of a bulk microbial community, providing a genetic snapshot of the entire microbiome sampled. Metagenomics offers a comprehensive genetic overview of microbial communities, without the limitations of culture-based methods. The introduction of the shotgun method of metagenomics has added the ability to quantify the phylogenetic and functional roles of microbes without primer bias. As sequencing becomes more affordable, shotgun metagenomics is becoming an increasingly popular method for assessing microbiomes.This webinar will offer a brief introduction to metagenomics and discuss various concepts and methods used in modern metagenomics. Specifically, we will explore topics such as using microbial composition as an indicator of ecosystem state, using functional genes as biosensors, and the insights that can be gleaned from genomic structure.
