Looking for York faculty who would be interested in the following project being organized under the banner of the Transborder Research University Network (TRUN) and would like to take part in a meeting at the University of Toronto on September 13th.

Project Description
As you may know, the Transborder Research University Network (TRUN), to date an administrative consortium of 13 universities from New York State, US and the Province of Ontario, Canada was established in 2007 http://TRUN.ca. The aim of TRUN is to expand and support cooperation among research universities along the borders of Ontario and New York State in the area of collaborative academic and research initiatives.

TRUN would like to organize a one-day meeting that would bring together interested faculty members seeking collaboration in possible areas such as fostering public policy dialogue through joint conferences, building a strong transborder connectivity among faculty and students (undergraduate and graduate) such as joint educational programs/courses, research internships and exchanges for students and collaborative research across the disciplines.
