Are you ready to ignite the power of collaboration to confront the climate crisis? The Crossing Boundaries Symposium invites visionaries from the arts, sciences, and engineering to step forward with bold ideas that challenge conventions, spark creativity, and drive climate action. This is no ordinary conference—it's a space where data meets design, where oceanographers and biologists exchange insights with installation artists and performance makers, and where your expertise can fuel a Canadian movement toward environmental resilience.  

Whether you're an artist finding inspiration in ecosystems or a scientist eager to translate your research into impactful narratives, this symposium is for you. Join us in Ottawa for two dynamic days of dialogue, discovery, and collective problem-solving. Together, we’ll explore how multidisciplinary approaches combined with the intrinsic value of the natural world and nature-based solutions can deepen public engagement and inspire meaningful change.  

Let’s cross boundaries, blur lines, and redefine what’s possible. Will you bring your voice to this urgent conversation?

Please submit an abstract to speak at the Crossing Boundaries Symposium—Mobilizing STEAM to Tackle Climate Change. This public symposium will bring together artists, scientists, engineers, academics, and educators to motivate climate action in new ways.
