Conversations Confronting COVID-19: Innovation Pivots

Since the global pandemic hit in winter 2020, Canadians and global citizens have been confronted with a myriad of questions – from how to understand and treat the virus, to how to cope with life in quarantine, and what life will look like when we surface from this international crisis. A new virtual Queen's event series, Conversations Confronting COVID-19, has been launched as part of the Discover Research@Queen’s campaign to examine these questions at the forefront of our minds and assess both challenges and unique opportunities the situation has presented. Learn more about how Queen's researchers, students, and alumni have mobilized to apply their expertise and skills to help address all aspects of the crisis in our discussion on Innovation Pivots. Take a deep dive into three initiatives that are working to confront various aspects of COVID-19 through innovation: The Mechanical Ventilator Milano initiative, an international project aimed at developing a low-cost, easy-to-build ventilator to treat COVID-19. The project has gained international media attention, and the Canadian arm of the collaboration is being led by Queen’s Nobel Laureate, Dr. Arthur B. McDonald. The Hand Sanitizer Initiative mobilized by Queen’s researchers and industry partners to support Kingston hospitals. Dunin-Deshpande Queen’s Innovation Centre's Spread Innovation Challenge that inspired 150 innovators across the globe to tackle pressing challenges caused by COVID-19.
