Report on Key Accomplishments for 2018 – 2019 Canada ‐ Initiatives Fund Founded in 2019, the Canada ‐ China Infinitives Fund (CCIF) was created to support scholarly exchanges and research on modern (i.e. post 1911) and contemporary China (including Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau) and their global reach or Canada ‐ China linkages, or the experiences of the Chinese ‐ Canadian community. It was created thanks to the generous support of the Schulich Executive Education Centre’s Asian Business and Management Program at York University. The number of funded projects will depend on submission but generally, more than two will be funded annually. The activities supported by the CCIF at YCAR will vary from year to year, but priority will be given to workshops or conferences at York that bring together researchers from York/ elsewhere that are focused on themes within the scope noted above. Other initiatives that can foster connections between York and institutions in China or in the Chinese ‐ Canadian community are welcome. For more information/discussion: Please attend the meeting on Tuesday, April 30.
