CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR JOINT
ISRAELI-CANADIAN RESEARCH WORKSHOPS 2025-2026

The Halbert Centre for Canadian Studies announces the Call for Applications for Joint Israeli-Canadian Research Workshops for the academic year 2025-2026. This initiative aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between researchers from the Hebrew University and Canadian universities in various fields of Social Sciences, Humanities, social work, education, law and business administration.

Workshop Details:

• The workshops will focus on a specific theme and run for a duration of 3-4 days. The Halbert Centre encourages the involvement of doctoral students in the workshops.
• Participation in the workshops is open to researchers beyond the Hebrew University and Canadian universities, but significant cooperation between these groups is essential.
• Workshops must be co-led by faculty members from the Hebrew University and Canadian universities, with a substantial presence of researchers from both regions.
• We request that one session or lecture will be recorded for our website and/or newsletter.

Budget and Application Process: The allotted budget for each workshop is 13,000 CAD (Canadian dollars), intended for the travel and accommodation expenses of Canadian researchers and other directly related workshop preparation costs. The Halbert Centre will manage the budget based on the details stated in the grant proposal.

The submission deadline for proposals is February 25, 2025.

 

The Halbert Centre's Academic Committee will review the applications and announce its decisions during the second semester. The utilization of the grant is valid for 12 months, beginning in October 2025.
