Interprovincial Directory of Researchers
 
“A bilingual, multidisciplinary and multi-institutional tool based on the Quebec model of the Researchers Directory launched in 2001 by the three funding agencies and the Department of Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade. It lists the profiles of more than 7000 researchers in Quebec and British Columbia from all sectors: health, engineering and natural sciences, humanities and social sciences, arts and letters. A search engine helps to retrieve the researchers listed in the directory by province, name, key words, research interest or by area of expertise.”   Click here to search the interprovincial directory
