The Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research (LDI) organises together with its trainees an annual one-day Scientific Retreat – usually in May – to foster scientific and social interactions as well as networking between trainees, postdocs and researchers at the Institute.
The LDI Scientific Retreat is part of the research training of all postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows within the Institute, and prominently displays their accomplishments.
The event comprises a keynote address and presentations from principal investigators representing each of the LDI’s four research axes, followed by round-table discussions. It also features oral and poster presentations by selected trainees, with postdoctoral fellows serving as reviewers and judges.
Finally, the annual Scientific Retreat is the venue for the presentation of the following LDI Awards: Basic Researcher of the Year, Clinical or Psychosocial Researcher of the Year, Employee of the Year, the Leadership Award, Best Trainee Paper of the Year, Best Oral Presentation and Best Poster at the Retreat.
