• Hear from local innovative research projects
• Discuss together new and innovative research, policy and practice solutions for housing and homelessness in Ottawa

Our first international speaker, Dr. Ligia Teixeira from the Centre on Homelessness Impact in the UK, will share case studies, examples and solutions which have enabled people working in and around homelessness to achieve breakthrough results.

This research symposium is hosted by uOttawa's Pop-Up Lab on Housing and Homelessness and the Centre for Research on Educational and Community Services (CRECS).
