International Research Linkage Program

The main objective of the International Research Linkage Program is to facilitate international collaboration within the academic community, while fostering the development of permanent exchange networks in the field of Canadian Studies. ICCS will provide assistance to teams of researchers from Canada and one or more countries to organize seminars or other forms of research linkages.

Eligibility

Proposals must include at least two research teams; one must be based at a Canadian University.

Each team must be actively engaged in research related to the proposed linkage project.

Proposals must include goals to foster academic mobility and exchange of research ideas and information. However, funds cannot be used to finance research.

Proposals must also describe a strategy to pursue linkages after the initial activity has completed.

Funding

Succesful proposals can receive a maximum of $10,000 CAD. Eligible costs include: economy travel, accommodation, team communication costs, administrative assistance, stationery, and photocopy charges directly related to the proposal.
