Following a high-level Royal Society (UK) visit to Canada in May 2023, it was agreed to organize a Frontiers of Science (FoS) meeting—a multidisciplinary meeting focused on early to mid-career researchers—on Artificial Intelligence in 2024 in Canada. This will be the second FoS between the two academies, which previously co-organized a FoS meeting in Whistler, Canada in 2016.
The objectives of the meeting will be:
- To bring together future leaders in artificial intelligence from the UK and Canada for networking, relationship-building and with a view to exploring potential collaborations between the researchers and furthering research collaboration between the countries.
- To strengthen the relationship between the RS and RSC.
- To connect early career researchers from both countries with senior scientists, policymakers and other key stakeholders in Canada, and to explore opportunities to contribute to public policy.
Meeting Location
Fairmont Chateau Laurier, 1 Rideau Street, Ottawa, Ontario
