What is this event?
TRPEx: Innovation in Action is a one-day, in-person conference where science meets art to spark bold ideas in healthcare! Join students, faculty and staff at U of T’s historic Hart House for a day of inspiring panel conversations, creative collaborations, artwork showcases, and meaningful networking. Whether you’re a researcher, innovator, or curious creative, TRPEx is where ideas ignite.
Why should people attend?
This event has three components:
- THE DISCUSSION: Panel discussions and keynote speakers will include a diverse range of experts who engage with arts for medicine and care, arts-based research in health and communicate science to the public.
- THE EXHIBITION: In place of traditional research posters, we will showcase an art exhibition, to present works that reflect our theme – merging science and art to advance healthcare innovation. Artists are invited to submit creative works that bring this theme to life!
- THE NETWORKING: Connect with creatives, researchers, and professionals across diverse disciplines. This segment is designed to foster meaningful conversations, spark collaborations, explore unconventional career paths, and build lasting relationships at the intersection of science, art, and healthcare.
