Digital Time Capsule
The Future, Imagined by McGill’s Top Researchers
Two-hundred years of trailblazing research has taken place on our campuses. In a time of rapid and far-reaching transformation, the future of research presents opportunities for important change. With the goal of imagining this exciting time to come, the Digital Time Capsule brings together over 50 of McGill’s top researchers to answer the question: What will be the biggest change in your field over the next 25 years?
In May 2022, the videos have been sealed. Five a year will be revealed at Homecoming each year over the next 10 years starting in Fall 2022.
