Canada Research Chairs @ Acadia University
The Canada Research Chairs Program stands at the centre of a national strategy to make Canada one of the world's top five countries for research and development. By helping Canadian universities become world-class centres of research and research training, the Chairs Program contributes to enhancing Canada's competitiveness in the global, knowledge-based economy, improving Canadians' health, and enriching our social and cultural life.
