News
- Year after year, the researchers of the FSS achieve excellent results at the SSHRC. The Office of the Vice-Dean for Research is pleased to announce that for the first time, the number of applications has exceeded the threshold of 40. In fact, a total of 41 applications for regular research grants were submitted in the 2010 contest (also involving almost a dozen co-researchers from the Faculty). Last year 39 applications were submitted, 38 in 2008 and 23 in 2007. We recognize the time and effort required for this process and wish our researchers every success!
