The RAS-NSA is happy to host its Intensive Professional Retreat for Emerging Scholars at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, from May 27 to May 29, 2024. Participants will get the opportunity to hone their skills related to research development and execution, knowledge mobilization, outreach, and communications, while at the same time receiving concrete briefings and trainings through modules about what researching in the field of Canadian security and defence truly entails. Over the course of two days, they will participate in a series of modules that touch every step of the research enterprise, from start to finish. On the third, they will engage in training familiarizing at CFB-Kingston before traveling to Ottawa to take part in the RAS-NSA’s annual colloquium, taking place on May 30, 2024.
