Preliminary Research Findings from TSAS-sponsored projects

TSAS EVENT

In 2012 TSAS issued our first Call for Proposals for new research projects. The applications we received were reviewed by a committee that included academic researchers and government officials across several departments. TSAS funded 10 of the  applications and researchers commenced work on their projects a year ago (in April 2013). Given the broad vision of TSAS (Terrorism, Security, and Society) and the range of our partnerships in the Canadian government, we selected projects dealing with many different issues, and utilizing a variety of methods. In this workshop, researchers associated with the new projects presented their findings.
