OTTAWA-GATINEAU – The CRTC is sponsoring a new prize for excellence in public policy research to encourage research in the communication field.
In joining together with the Canadian Communication Association (CCA) to create this prize, the CRTC said that it is continuing to build bridges with the university community as a way to encourage a new generation of researchers with the potential to contribute to Canadian information and communications policy.
The prize will be administered by the CCA and presented each year in the Master’s, Doctorate and Post-doctorate categories. Graduate-level students who are members of the CCA have until January 15, 2016 to submit an article on a topic in the Canadian information and communication policy field, and a selection committee will choose the winners, who will receive, among other things, cash prizes as follows: Master’s ($1,500), Doctorate ($2,500), and Post-doctorate ($1,000). The first recipients will be announced at the 2016 CCA annual meeting.
“The creation of the CRTC Prize for Excellence in Public Policy Research is a concrete way for the Commission to cultivate relationships with the university community and have access to leading-edge research in the communications field”, said CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais, in a statement.
