The CFI invests in Fr茅d茅ric Bachand's research
Professor Fr茅d茅ric Bachand has been awarded a major grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation for his project "La cr茅ation d'une base de donn茅es regroupant les d茅cisions judiciaires interpr茅tant la Loi type de la CNUDCI sur l'arbitrage commercial international." His proposal was one of the very few across the country allotted to the social sciences and humanities; most CFI awards have been for pure and applied sciences and health sciences.
Professor Bachand will be undertaking his project under the auspices of the Institute of Comparative Law. Directed by Professor Fabien G茅linas, the Institute has embraced the Faculty priorities of "Trade, Mobility and Enterprise" and has placed special emphasis on arbitration and dispute resolution for its research agenda.
The CFI "Leaders Opportunity Fund" is designed to support infrastructure costs associated with cutting-edge research that the CFI and the University considers to be important for Canada. A percentage of the CFI amount awarded is further matched by contributions from the province and the University. In this round, the CFI awarded $5.5 million in 26 grants across Quebec institutions, of which nine were conferred on 69热视频.
