BUCKLE UP, THE 22ND AMBGC IS COMING SOON!!!

For the past 20 consecutive years, EMGSS has had the honor of organizing the Annual McGill Biomedical Graduate Conference (AMBGC). Over these years, this award-winning conference has grown to be one of the largest, 100% student-led conferences in Canada. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, this one-day conference has remained completely free to all attendees, thereby keeping in line with our values of equity towards all students. The EMGSS Executive Council is proud to be hosting our 21st Conference in spring 2021! Prepare for a full day of poster sessions, talks by your peers from the many areas of research within the Biomedical Sciences.

“History is who we are and why we are the way we are”- David McCullough.

We are living in a time in history where we have to examine the violence several communities have faced throughout their lives. The Experimental Medicine Graduate Students’ Society (EMGSS), as part of McGill University, acknowledges that the land where our Annual McGill Biomedical Graduate Conference (AMBGC) happens, is the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka. The Kanien'kehá:ka Nation is a founding nation of the Haudenosaunee/People of the Longhouse (Iroquois) Confederacy which is also comprised of the Seneca, Tuscarora, Cayuga, Onondaga, and Oneida Nations. EMGSS honours, respects and recognizes these Nations. We encourage everyone to understand the history of this land. For more information visit the McGill Indigenous Initiatives website.

«L'histoire définit qui nous sommes et pourquoi nous sommes comment nous sommes» - David McCullough.

Nous voulons reconnaître que l’Université McGill est située en territoire autochtone, lequel n’a jamais été cédé. Nous reconnaissons la nation Kanien'kehá: ka comme gardienne des terres et des eaux sur lesquelles nous nous réunissons virtuellemement aujourd'hui. Tiohtiá:ke (Montréal) est historiquement connu comme un lieu de rassemblement pour de nombreuses Premières Nations, et aujourd'hui, une population autochtone diversifiée, ainsi que d'autres peuples, y résident. La Nation Kanien'kehá: ka est une nation fondatrice de la Confédération Haudenosaunee / Iroquois qui comprend également les nations Seneca, Tuscarora, Cayuga, Onondaga et Oneida. C’est dans le respect des liens avec le passé, le présent et l'avenir que nous reconnaissons les relations continues entre les peuples autochtones et autres personnes de la communauté montréalaise. Nous encourageons tout participant présent à mieux connaître l'histoire de cette terre. Pour plus d'informations, visitez le site Web des initiatives autochtones de McGill.
