WUSC is pleased to launch this year's National Research Seminar and to celebrate its first decade. Inaugurated by John Ralston Saul in 2003, the National Research Seminar explores a particular challenge in international development and provides a tremendous platform for emerging scholars to share their research findings with university and college students, faculty members, practitioners and policy makers from across Canada and the world.

We've arrived!!! We are waiting sleepily in the Istanbul airport arrivals lounge. Our colleagues from Sri Lanka are due to arrive shortly from the other side of the world. We're keen to see them!
Our flight from Ottawa to Istanbul was smooth and we met a couple of other AWID Forum participants along the way. Talking with them in the passport control line got us even more excited for the conference to start.
Happy International Women’s Day! On this special day, we would like to thank all our volunteers and partners who make a difference in women’s lives. Your invaluable contributions have helped tens of thousands of women and young girls around the world.
Good governance involves the effective, equitable, transparent and accountable use of power, as well as social and economic resources by all levels of the government, and society for the common good. Effective governance systems are an essential component of successful socio-economic development; poor governance, on the contrary, contributes to economic stagnation, poverty, marginalization, and even conflict.
WUSC has been managing international scholarship programs for close to 30 years. WUSC assists governments from developing countries by placing international students to Canadian universities to gain knowledge and develop specific skills that will then help to contribute to their country’s development.
