The Public Interaction Program (PIP) fosters the dynamic development of the Foundation’s community, where members contribute through their work to evidence-based policy development and positive social change. 

Main Objectives

Incubator: to promote ties between Scholars, Fellows and Mentors to create a dynamic community that helps each member participate in public policy debates and translate their research or other work into social impact. 

Amplifier: to equip members of the Foundation’s community with the skills, platforms and opportunities necessary to foster the public impact of their research or other work. 

Disseminator: to organize or participate in public policy discussions that bring together members of the Foundation’s community with stakeholders from civil society, the private sector and governments to enrich collaboration and foster evidence-based discourse.

High-impact Community Events

The Foundation organizes regular events: 

Public Policy Conference

This biennial invitational event aims to connect the Foundation with the Canadian public, foster evidence-based discussion around a topical public policy issue, and disseminate research. 

Summer School

This gathering establishes close relationships among active members of the community, trains and reinforces skills for Scholars provided by Fellows, Mentors and other specialists, welcomes new Scholars, and celebrates those completing their term. 

P.E. Trudeau Talks

Fellows are invited to give a public talk at the end of their term. The purpose of these conversations is to establish links between the Foundation and the Canadian public, to emphasize the importance of social sciences and humanities research for public policy development, and to disseminate the research undertaken by Fellows during their term. 

Mentors-Scholars Retreat

This annual meeting formally introduces Scholars to Mentors and vice versa, encourages the forging of links between Scholars and Mentors, and fosters training and skill-building provided by Mentors to Scholars.
