About this event
The Science and Practice of System Change
For many public health and population health researchers, the ultimate goal is to enable system change—to improve health and well-being, and to empower everyone to live with dignity. We believe that Canada’s health and social policies should be grounded in the best possible evidence, and we want to help make that happen.
In practice, what can that process look like? At a time when science itself is politicized, what are the roles researchers can play in enabling and advancing evidence-based and equity-focused policymaking and policy implementation in Canada?
Join us in Toronto at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute on November 25, 2025 for a full day of talks, discussion and Q&As with policy-focused researchers and insightful guest speakers.
