Canadian Consortium on Human Security (CCHS)
In October 2003, the Canadian Consortium on Human Security (CCHS) issued a
call for proposals for funding third party human security-related conferences
and workshops to be held in 2004 and early 2005. The Consortium received 30
applications for funding from university-level institutions or by research
centres based in Canada by the January 16, 2004 deadline.
All applications were reviewed by a national selection committee, chaired by
CCHS Co-Director Andrew Mack (UBC). All the applications were reviewed and
scored according to criteria laid out in the call for proposals.
The Consortium is pleased to announce that, as on February 16, 2004, five
"complementary activities" applications have been awarded CCHS funding.
However, the Consortium is withholding announcing two of the awardees until
some administrative matters are settled.
The awardees are:
1. W. Andy Knight, University of Alberta, Conference, Children and War:
Impact, April 1-3, University of Alberta, Edmonton;
2. Erin Baines, UBC – Liu Institute for Global Issues - UBC, Workshop, Les
Femmes aux Mille Bras au Rwanda: A Case Study of the Women, Peace and
Security Agenda, May 29- 30, 2004; Liu Institute for Global Issues - UBC, Vancouver;
3. Details withheld until further notice;
4. Jackie Kirk, McGill Centre, Workshop, Women and Peace building between
India and Pakistan, June 11-12 or 25-26, 2004, McGill University, Montreal,
Quebec;
5. Details withheld until further notice.
Two further applications have been short listed as "alternates" should
funding for these conferences / workshops not proceed.
The Consortium will feature reports of these events on its website
(www.humansecurity.info), and in its quarterly online publication, the Human
Security Bulletin (www.humansecuritybulletin.info). Please refer to CCHS’
website for examples of past seminars, workshops and conferences funded by
the Consortium.
