U Of C Launches "U.S. Strategy", Creation Of Institute For United Stat

The Institute for U.S. Policy Research is an integral part of the University of Calgary’s “United States strategy,” added Salahub. It involves creating new partnerships with leading U.S. academic institutions as well as enhanced research and student recruitment. Partnerships in development include with Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories, Stanford University and others. The Institute will also work closely with other Institutes at the University of Calgary, in particular the Institute for Sustainable Energy, Environment and Economy and the Institute for Advanced Policy Research. “Alberta is the only provincial government that has representation in Washington, D.C., and Calgary is one of only two non-provincial capital cities in the country with a U.S. consulate general,” noted Dr. Stephen Randall, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and the first director of the Institute. “Clearly Alberta’s role in the global arena is increasing in importance and it is essential to know the implications of a host of issues and opportunities.” http://webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?SESSIONID=&aId=11484
