Canada Europe Awards

Understanding Canada - Canadian Studies

Canada Europe Awards

This award will support scholars in universities or research institutes in the European countries to undertake short term research, including collaborative research, contributing to the understanding of bilateral and multilateral relations between Canada and the countries of the European countries. The award will assist with direct costs related to the research project, and, when a research trip to Canada is warranted, will provide assistance towards international airfare and a weekly flat rate allowance for a period not exceeding five weeks.

Awards may be granted for:

  1. Research projects related to Canada and Europe relations, either with the region as a whole, or any part thereof. Although we welcome applications from all disciplines lending themselves most readily to Canadian Studies course development we are particularly interested in projects that have policy relevance for Canada and Canada’s foreign policy. Topics that are highly relevant to Canada’s foreign policy include Democracy & Rule of Law, Economic Development and Prosperity, Environment, Managing Diversity, North American Partnership, Peace and Security.
  2. Interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary studies; or
  3. Comparative studies with substantial Canadian content (33% or more);

Priority may be given to projects, which relate Canada’s foreign policy; or contemporary situations and issues which illuminate options for future developments; or which focus on Canada’s bilateral relations.

(Purely scientific subjects such as physics, chemistry, medicine, engineering, etc. which would not lead to a better knowledge and understanding of Canada per se are not eligible, nor are proposals which focus exclusively on technological or methodological issues).

Awards will be available to scholars and researchers from all European countries. Applications are to be submitted by the designated principal researcher, with the official endorsement of his/her institution.

The Canada-Europe Award will consist of a grant in the amount of up to CAD $10,000, based on the analysis of the proposed budget needed to do the research. It is expected that more than one award will be offered annually. Successful candidates will not be able to make a new application until they demonstrate that they have fulfilled the terms and conditions of their previous award.

With the official endorsement of his/her institution, and having constituted a research team, the designated principal researcher should submit an application to the local Canadian Mission in his/her home country, by the November 24 deadline.

The Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarship

The Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarship is tenable for three years. During their third year, Trudeau Scholars may apply for a thesis writing scholarship or a postdoctoral scholarship, for a fourth year of financing. The Scholarship of up to $180,000 consists of two distinct financial categories:

(1) an annual stipend of $40,000, which is intended to cover the cost of tuition and reasonable living expenses. If a Trudeau Scholar concurrently holds other scholarships or fellowships that allow for the accumulation of awards, and if the total value of those external awards exceeds $10,000, the Foundation will subtract the amount over $10,000 from the $40,000 annual stipend.
(2) an annual travel allowance of $20,000, which is available to support research-related travel and to cover networking expenses associated with the Foundation's Public Interaction program

Far beyond a financial assistance, the Trudeau Scholarship offers award winners the opportunity to interact with an exciting community of leaders and committed individuals in every field of the social sciences and humanities.

Since the beginning of the program in 2003, the Foundation has awarded 100 Trudeau Doctoral Scholarships.

Selection Criteria and Guidelines

The assessment of nominees for Trudeau Scholarships focuses on the following criteria:

(1) academic achievement at the level of the most competitive scholarship programs worldwide;
(2) an outstanding ability to engage in lively exchange with other researchers and scholars; and
(3) the intention to work in an area related to one or more of the four themes of the Foundation, and a desire to contribute to public dialogue around those themes.


Selection Process

Trudeau Scholars are selected through a process that involves nomination by a university, internal and external review and selection panels, an interview, and the formal approval of the Board of Directors.

The Scholars are announced each year during the month of June.


For further information about the Scholarship Program, visit the Foundation's website.

Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships Program

Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships Program

A Vanier CGS is valued at $50,000 per year for up to three years.

Canada is building world-class research capacity by recruiting top-tier doctoral students, both nationally and internationally, who will positively contribute to our economic, social and research-based growth for a prosperous future. To promote this world-class excellence, the Government of Canada has created the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships (Vanier CGS) program. Once in full operation, this program will support 500 international and Canadian doctoral students with highly prestigious scholarships.

The Vanier CGS program reaffirms Canada as a global centre of excellence in research and education. The program supports Canada’s science and technology policy direction, which capitalizes on people, strengthens knowledge and encourages entrepreneurial advantages to build a competitive Canada.

The scholarships are administered by Canada's three federal granting agencies: the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

The Vanier CGS program aims to attract and retain world-class doctoral students by supporting students who demonstrate both leadership skills and a high standard of scholarly achievement in graduate studies in social sciences and humanities, natural sciences and engineering, and health. Canadian and international students are eligible to be nominated for a Vanier CGS.

Students wishing to apply for a Vanier CGS must do so through the Canadian university to which they are applying for doctoral studies. Based on their allocations, universities will forward a limited number of nominations to the appropriate federal research granting agency— CIHR, NSERC, or SSHRC.

Value and Duration

A Vanier CGS is valued at $50,000 per year for up to three years.

When can the award be taken up?

Award recipients must take their award up in the first semester (May or September) following the announcement of results if they:

* have already undertaken their doctoral program of study at the Canadian nominating university; or
* have already undertaken a doctoral program of study at a Canadian university and will be transferring to a doctoral program at the Canadian nominating university.

Award recipients can take their award up in May, September or January following the announcement of results if they:

* have not yet started a doctoral program of study; or
* will transfer from a doctoral program at an international university to a doctoral program at the Canadian nominating university.


Application deadline

Without exception, all nominations from Canadian universities must be submitted via ResearchNet and received by the federal research granting agencies by November 6, 2009. Late or incomplete nominations will not be considered.

To be considered for a Vanier CGS, you must:
