Funding, News and Announcements

As you may know, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) recently launched two contests that challenge Canadians to combine their creativity and interest in science for the chance to win cash prizes.

Science Exposed is an image contest organized by NSERC in collaboration with l’Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas). This image contest challenges individuals and groups to combine creativity and science for a chance to win four cash prizes of up to $2,000.

The goal of Science Exposed is to help foster a science culture in Canada by capturing vibrant research images that showcase the outstanding work being conducted by our research community. NSERC is currently accepting submissions until February 19, 2016.

NSERC's Science, Action! video contest returns for its second year. The contest challenges postsecondary students to film a one-minute video about the research and innovations that are transforming Canadian lives. Contestants are eligible to win one of 15 cash prizes worth up to $5,000. NSERC will be accepting submissions from January 20 to February 25, 2016.
