On August 24-26 students from all-across Canada met for the first time in Montréal. Students are at the heart of the Partnership, a majority of the budget is aimed directly for them highlighting the commitment of the project team to make students a focus and corner stone of this project. Students will be involved in the project in multiple ways, through working on case studies, attending the roundtables and common integrative seminars and joining the national conventions, they will be at the forefront of the research.
Additionally, students are one of the key actors to help ensuring a transversality in the project. Through the graduate student committees and the national convention and the common integrative seminars students from different universities will be invited to work closely together and link the 14 situated projects together.
