Canada Research Coordinating Committee moves forward on federal priorities to sustain Canada’s research enterprise
In November, the Canadian Science Policy Centre (CSPC) invited members of the Canada Research Coordinating Committee (CRCC) to the CSPC 2022 conference for an in-depth discussion on how their organizations advanced the CRCC’s priorities.
The panelists discussed their organizations’ collective efforts to help sustain Canada’s research enterprise through the ongoing global pandemic while keeping an eye to the future—by working together on key federal priorities to build a more equitable, connected and innovative research community for Canada. The event coincided with the publication of the 2021-22 CRCC progress report, Moving Forward.
