SSHRC’s new international policy and strategy acknowledges the importance of international collaboration to help sustain excellence in research and position Canadian research in the world. It recognizes the need to create better opportunities for Canadian researchers to lead and participate in international collaborative research. The policy also addresses the importance of promoting the distinctive contribution that Canadian social sciences and humanities research can make to international research agendas and to better understanding of major global issues. Accordingly, the International Opportunities Fund (IOF) program will help researchers develop, participate in, and lead diverse international collaborative research activities.
