Researchers vote. Les chercheur.e.s votent.(2) 2025 election mobilisation
by Tabrez Siddiqui 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Dear Colleagues, CAN Advocacy is collaborating with our partners to send a clear message to all candidates in the upcoming elections: research matters and should be a top priority for the next government. This initiative complements the efforts of Evidence for Democracy (E4D) and Research Canada. This effort is to ensure that the voices of researchers are heard. To be heard, the research community needs to make some noise. In the coming weeks, we will organize a national workshop in partnership with E4D. We invite you to join us in this important conversation. For today's event, please register via Eventbrite (a Zoom link will be provided to all registered participants): https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/researchers-vote-les-chercheures-votent2-2025-e… Sincerely, Tabrez J. Siddiqui Co-Chair, CAN Advocacy Council -------------------------- Tabrez J.
