CERC Scholars of Excellence
The CERC Scholars of Excellence program invites up to four scholars each year to join the CERC Migration program for one to three months. Scholars are internationally recognized researchers who can contribute to one of the CERC’s four research streams. While working on the Toronto Metropolitan University campus, Scholars will deliver a lecture and seminar, mentor graduate students and young scholars, and contribute to conferences, workshops and new research proposals. The CERC Scholars of Excellence program brings complementary perspectives and expertise to the CERC Migration program and creates lasting collaborations through the CERC’s expanding global network.
