Hint: Like another one of our members, this member is also a part of Dalhousie university. You might know this member by its former name - Lester Pearson International (LPI). The Basics: "In 2009, Lester Pearson International became International Research & Development (IR&D). This change is part of a larger initiative to streamline, integrate and improve the provision of services to researchers within the university community. IR&D is now one of the component units of the newly-created Dalhousie Research Services. IR&D's mandate is to promote, facilitate and monitor Dalhousie’s institutional initiatives in international development and international research. In support of this mandate, IR&D provides:
promotion and facilitation of opportunities for international collaboration;
project and proposal design and development;
advisory support for the administration and implementation of successful projects;
oversight for project administration, to ensure accountability (particularly financial); and
an internal and external international liaison role for the university. IR&D's Director serves as the university's International Liaison Officer (ILO)."
WHY WE LOVE IR&D:
an impressive list of projects on the go!
they are a great resource of opportunities for anyone interested in international development
even MORE opportunities!
