Bravo to the whole team!

This past fall marked the halfway point in the Indigenous Peoples and Governance project, given that our team has been in operation since January 2006. Accordingly, on October 9, 2008, we had the mid-term report visit required for projects funded by the Major Collaborative Research Initiatives program. The SSHRC review committee visited the project’s home institution, the University of Montreal, and met all of the people working on the project: students, researchers, institutional actors, and indigenous partners, the latter being essential actors considering the objectives and goals of the research project. The reviewers were very interested in our work and the quality of intellectual reflection within the team.

The visit on October 9 went very well. In fact, they expressed their satisfaction with our work in their report. The remarks and recommendations from the visiting committee members were very positive in terms of the team’s work and the amount accomplished to that point.

This outstanding mid-term report means that our funding has been maintained for the rest of the project. While fully aware of the work that remains to be done, the whole team was thrilled to receive the committee’s recommendations. Congratulations to all concerned, and keep up the good work!
