BOLD MINDS

 

Attracting Top Talent

The Munk School has quickly earned a reputation not only as an outstanding centre of research, teaching and public engagement, but as a dynamic environment where great minds can work together in new ways – driving urgent debates, bringing an entrepreneurial spirit to global challenges and collaborating across traditional boundaries. This year once again, we have been pleased to work with top academics and accomplished professionals from around the world.
