2026 Collective Expression of Interest Day

A day-long event to gauge collective interest is organized each year for researchers in the community. The goal is to identify new sub-themes by highlighting or initiating collaborations among researchers with complementary expertise in order to propose an ambitious, high-risk project.

This event is a one-day event:

• Short presentations by local volunteer researchers (collaborations and/or individual presentations) and guest speakers
• Roundtable Discussions on the Proposed Subtopics

This event helps refine the sub-theme for this year’s call for proposals, based on feedback from the community.

The next event will take place on January 15, 2026, at Genopolys.
