Competition calendar

The AIRS Network offers numerous funding programs for its members to support research and emerging scholars. It actively contributes to supporting its community by investing nearly $500,000 annually in scholarship and grant competitions for researchers and student trainees. Driven by the Network’s dynamism and its collaborations with many partners, this support fosters innovation and the development of new research initiatives.

The launch of each competition is announced via an email sent to all Network members as well as in the newsletter. The information is posted in the events calendar, and reminders are sent regularly. For each competition, a document is available outlining the details.

For more information, please contact the AIRS netword coordination centre at airs.hsj@ssss.gouv.qc.ca
