Ottawa aims to attract top research talent, including Canadians working abroad

December 12, 2025

The plan, announced in last month’s budget, will create 100 research chairs at Canadian universities spread across eight areas of focus, which range from defence technologies to food and water security, climate resilience and the Arctic.
