In today's global economy, international partnerships are the building blocks for technological advancements and innovation. International partnerships enable Canadian researchers to participate in major international research collaborations and to gain access to the world's best S&T facilities, equipment, talent, and knowledge. CIHR is committed to ensuring that Canadian researchers are able to establish strategic alliances with international partners and gain access to cutting edge research and technologies that are not currently available in Canada.
Please note some examples of international partnerships and programs.
