Equity as Infrastructure with Dr. Imogen Coe
2026-03-26 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Toronto) | QNC - Quantum Nano Centre 0101 Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada
EQUITY AS INFRASTRUCTURE: RECALIBRATING THE FOUNDATIONS OF SCIENTIFIC
EXCELLENCE

Scientifc excellence is typically assessed through outputs -
publications, grands, citations. But excellence is produced by
systems: by research culture, team dynamics, design choices and
institutional incentives. This talk reframes equity not as an add-on,
but as core infrastructure that shapes rigour, validity, innovation
and impact. Moving beyond performative EDI requires recalibrating the
foundational conditions that determine scientific performance.
