Delivering Research Excellence Between the United Kingdom And MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, It is an absolute honour and pleasure that we present to you the 11th annual Canadian Science Policy Conference. With more than 800 participants, and over 250 speakers from across the country (and for some panels, across the globe), this year promises to offer an excellent venue to set the science and innovation policy agenda in Canada moving forward. This couldn’t occur at a more opportune time, following the 2019 federal election and new government mandates and priorities looking forward to the next four years. Together, we will build stronger bridges between science policy and society and ensure the use of evidence in policy making turning great ideas into great policy. Over the next three days, participants will discuss and debate issues related to science and policy, science and society, science, innovation and economic development, science, international affairs and security, and science and the next generation; and I am confident that the takeaways from your discussions will carry into your important work moving forward. Looking back, the past ten conferences have all been remarkable and have contributed greatly to the science and innovation community. Now more than ever, we are seeing science and innovation at the forefront of policy and decision making – whether it be in climate change, artificial intelligence, or the endless other applications that are changing the way we live. I am so proud to see how far the Canadian Science Policy Conference has come and I am greatly appreciative to all of the organizations who have supported this endeavour as well as the many wonderful minds who have contributed to the betterment of science policy here in Canada. I thank you all for participating in this year’s exceptional Conference, whether as speakers, partners, exhibitors, or attendees, and wish you all the very best here at CSPC 2019.
