Concordia, UNB open new centres

Concordia University and the University of New Brunswick each recently launched new research centres on campus. Concordia’s new Collaboratoire pour les études des jeux de hasard et d’argent numériques connectés (CHANCE) research centre is a lab and knowledge-sharing space designed for those studying and sharing information about gambling behaviour. The collaboratory includes a space that simulates a natural gambling and social environment as well as a collaborative area for researchers, the public, and other stakeholders. UNB recently celebrated the official opening of its Institute of Population Health (IPH), which is focused on enhancing public health through outreach, collaboration with academics and researchers, and knowledge mobilization. IPH priorities include advocating for better health outcomes and supporting multidisciplinary research.
