→ International collaboration is increasing in the social sciences and humanities
→ Collaboration among research funders and other stakeholders can increase the
scope, scale and impact of Canada’s research and training in the social sciences
and humanities.
→ Canadian researchers in the social sciences and humanities are sought as
collaborators; and are strong competitors in international joint initiativesSTAY CONNECTED
