Associations play a pivotal role in the research world, and are instrumental in ensuring a strong infrastructure for researchers, practitioners, new scholars and graduate students.
Canadian scholarly associations:

• Help strengthen research collaboration through membership;
• Engage scholars from all parts of the country;
• Facilitate the development of new research areas, often interdisciplinary in nature;
• Provide a forum for Canadian scholars who are active in the development of research policy;
• Support the development of young scholars;
• Disseminate research through journals and annual conferences;
• Maintain links with international scholarship;
• Encourage links with non-academic researchers and research users.
