This
partnership
seeks
to
build
a
new
collaboration
between
CBB
researchers
at
the
University
of
À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ
and
the
 in
the
transdisciplinary
area
of
Health
Engineering.Â
Health
engineering
is
a
research
theme
that
cuts
across
UW
strengths
in
engineering,
applied
health,
computer
science
and
aging.Â
AÂ MOU
was
signed
between
UW
and
the
Sorbonne
±«²Ô¾±±¹±ð°ù²õ¾±³Ùé²õ
in
November
2015.
The
first
CBB/Sorbonne
workshop
is
scheduled
May
9-11,
2016
here
in
À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ
with
the
goal
to look
for
key
areas
of
synergy.Â
The second
workshop
will
leverage
those
synergies
towards
building
a
strong
ongoing
partnership
with
the
end
goals
of:
-
Applying
for
joint
grant
applications
to
Canadian
and
European
funding
agencies
in
the
field
of
health
engineering
for ,
European
Space
Agency,
,
and
national
funding
programs
in
Canada
and
France.
-
Research
oriented
exchanges
of
graduate
students
or

visits
to
deepen
knowledge
on
an
individual
level.
