This visit provides an excellent opportunity to hear directly from one of Canada's leading research funding organizations about priorities, opportunities, and the evolving landscape of research and innovation. I encourage faculty members, researchers, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and others interested in research funding and collaboration to attend.
