WELCOME TO BE-STEMM 2024!

Join us on July 30 - August 1, 2024 at the National Library & Public Archives in Ottawa, Ontario.

The Canadian Black Scientists Network is pleased to host you for a rich, three day multidisciplinary program featuring research in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine & Health (STEMM). We welcome participants from all demographics from across Canada and abroad, and provide bilingual programming options and accessibility supports. 

Highlights of BE-STEMM 2024 include keynote talks by established and rising star Black scholars in STEMM, contributed talks and posters by scholars, practitioners, students, and educators across disciplines, a panel discussion on Black Health Equity, and an opportunity to network with organizations with career and scholarship opportunities at our career fair receptions.

This is the third year for this highly successful conference, but the first opportunity to meet in person! Hybrid elements such as livestreams for all keynote talks with chat functions and access to on-demand content will be provided for online attendees.
