Each year, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation selects five Fellows who have contributed to the enhancement of knowledge and the advancement of society, through leading-edge research, creative work and commitment to societal debates on major issues of public policy. The Foundation's substantial financial support enables Fellows to devote themselves more freely to critical thinking and innovative approaches to their work.

The Trudeau Foundation has decided to create the Trudeau Lectures, which started in the fall of 2008, in order to promote its Fellowships and disseminate key ideas of Trudeau Fellows. The Trudeau Lectures are an annual series of public lectures organized in collaboration with Canadian universities and institutions of higher learning. Trudeau Fellows will use these lectures to highlight their ideas, their research and their role as public intellectuals. Each year, the Foundation will publish the text of these lectures in the Trudeau Foundation Papers, available in both official languages, in print and online.
