Institutes of Engaged Leadership
Scholars taking up the joint visiting Chair in Contemporary Public Policy will have the opportunity to participate in at least one five-day scientific conference component of the Trudeau Foundation’s Institutes of Engaged Leadership as a participant, facilitator, teacher and/or speaker, and prepare any key-related readings or material in preparation.
The opportunity would not only be for the benefit of Scholars attending the Institutes, but also to the visiting Chair, in sharing their knowledge, learning from others and expanding their networks.
Mentorship
Fellows taking up the joint visiting Chair in Contemporary Public Policy will have a multi-faceted opportunity to contribute to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation’s mission, by acting as guides and mentors to the next generation of bold, innovative Scholars. This critical role means fostering the development of Scholars—all of whom are PhD students in the social sciences and humanities—so they become public educators with meaningful impact in their institutions and communities.
