4th International Research Seminar on Public Health & Palliative Care

In June 2025, the 4th International Research Seminar on Public Health & Palliative Care took place at the University of Victoria on the Territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Esquimalt) and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples. Organized by the Institute on Aging and Lifelong Health, the EAPC Reference Group on Pubic Health & Palliative Care in partnership with McMaster University, we hosted close to 200 students, post doctoral fellows, early career and senior researchers, and people working and living our theme: Innovating Care: Research and Action for Public Health and Palliative Care.
