We’re excited to invite you to join the Celebrate Research Week 2025 campaign taking place November 17-21, 2025. This national movement aims to elevate the role of research in shaping health, economy, environment and communities in Canada.
Led by the Osler Research Institute for Health Innovation (ORIHI), the 2024 Celebrate Research Week proclamation celebrated the launch of both ORIHI and the Toronto Metropolitan University School of Medicine, while highlighting Brampton’s innovators. This year, we are joining with national partners to encourage researchers, academic institutions, health organizations, research networks and innovation hubs across the country to amplify the importance of research in public life, policy and everyday wellbeing with a cross-Canada advocacy campaign.
The three pillars of Celebrate Research Week at ORIHI:
- National advocacy campaign - proclaim Celebrate Research Week in your city, host events and promote on social media
- Science-art exhibition 2025: Space for Grief - an immersive community-based research project to explore grief at Osler by staff, patients and communities
- ORIHI research symposium (November 18, 2025) - academic health and innovation and scholarly work
Why Celebrate Research Week?
- Raise public visibility and understanding of research
- Foster collaboration and community
- Celebrate research impact across Canada
- 2025 vision: National coordination of research celebrations
