The Live Work Well Research Centre is dedicated to sharing knowledges and practices from our five thematic clusters. Webinars are a way to bring experts together to discuss a specific topic, raise questions, and engage with the audience. We promote our webinars on our Events page, in our Newsletter, and on our Twitter page.
Accessibility is central to the practices of the Live Work Well Research Centre. We commit to providing panelists, moderators, and the audience with the supports that they need to participate fully to the webinars. Please let us know of any accessibility needs that you require in order to join the webinar. All costs will be covered by the Live Work Well Research Centre.
