Associations play a pivotal role in the research world, and are instrumental in ensuring a strong infrastructure for researchers, practitioners, new scholars and graduate students.

Canadian scholarly associations:

• help strengthen research collaboration through membership;
• engage scholars from all parts of the country;
• facilitate the development of new research areas, often interdisciplinary in nature;
• provide a forum for Canadian scholars who are active in the development of research policy;
• support the development of young scholars;
• disseminate research through journals and annual conferences;
• maintain links with international scholarship;
• encourage links with non-academic researchers and research users.
