Pre-conference

Investigating human development across the lifespan: Diverse approaches for in-depth understanding
This multidisciplinary preconference, to be held in Montreal on May 28, 2024, will feature examples of methods that successfully address challenges associated with the study of human development across the lifespan.
    
Organized jointly by the Interdisciplinary Center for Brain and Learning, Sainte-Justine Hospital Research Center’s Brain and Development Axis, the Research Unit on Children’s Psychosocial Maladjustment, and the Observatory for Children’s Education and Health, this preconference will showcase excellence in the methods used to study the complexity and subtleties of human development. Presenters will cover a range of developmental research questions that can be addressed using various types of data (qualitative, genetic, neurological, observational, administrative), research designs (longitudinal, experimental, participatory), and analyses (content analysis, machine learning, etc.). The preconference is suitable for trainees, researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers who share an interest in developmental science to improve care and public policy.
 
Aimed at a diverse local, national and international audience, this day-long meeting will be an opportunity to share and learn about diverse approaches to the study of human development and will provide networking opportunities with colleagues who share similar interests.


This pre-conference is open, at no extra cost, to all 2024 LHRS conference attendees. However, please do confirm your attendance to the pre-conference when registering (by ticking the appropriate box on the registration portal).
