THE FUTURE OF RESEARCH

Take your research career to the next level.

Early-career researchers have the energy, enthusiasm, and new and unencumbered ideas that lead to different ways of seeing and thinking about problems. We accelerate discovery by supporting researchers in the early stages of their careers through mentorship, networking, and skills training.

Email us at nextgen@cifar.ca for more information about our Next Generation Initiatives.
