CIHR Café Scientifiques

In 2006, CIHR launched its own Café Scientifique program as an outreach initiative that would provide answers to questions of popular interest to the general public. As a result, over 60 CIHR Café Scientifiques events have been funded to provide education and informal discussions regarding popular health topics. There Cafés are typically held in bars or cafés, and involve a panel of expert CIHR-funded health researchers who specialize in the topic at-hand. To be a member of the audience, you don’t have to have a science degree. You need to be interested in learning things, and posing questions.

As well as organizing its own series of Cafés, CIHR is funding Café Scientifiques events across Canada with non-profit organizations, universities, research centre, science centers and museums. If Successful, these partners can expect to receive funding of $3,000 each after approval for their Café Scientifique. Please note these funds can be used to host more than one Café.

Those who are interested in applying for funding must send a Word version of their two-page description to cafescientifique@cihr-irsc.gc.ca by June 30th, 2008. 

For further information, please contact Peter Maitland, Public Outreach Officer and Writer.
