Canadian Studies Development Program (CSDP)

This program provides Canadian Studies Centers and Chinese scholars with the opportunity of organizing conferences/seminars on Canada, conducting research and academic activities, and publishing books related to Canada, therefore raising Canada’s profile, visibility and influence across China.  This is a nation-wide competition once a year.

In addition, we believe that high quality of academic conferences / seminars / academic exchanges would greatly help to further promote future collaborative partnerships between Chinese and Canadian scholars (and their host organizations).
