What it does
The Grants to International Affiliations (IA) program is a transfer payment program that maintains memberships in international science and technology organizations on behalf of Canada’s scientific, engineering and industrial innovation communities. Membership in these bodies is paid for through grants and allows Canada to participate in international endeavours and promotes the exchange and dissemination of knowledge in the most advanced areas of scientific and industrial research.

|---|---|---|---|
| International Affiliations | This program | 2018-19 – 2028-29 | $4.6M |
