Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF)
Within the National Science Fair Program, the Canada-Wide Science Fair constitutes the national championship round, where finalists from Regional Science Fairs across the country meet and compete.
In bringing Canada’s top young scientists together, the CWSF aims to accomplish two primary goals: to help participants benchmark their scientific and technological achievements against those of peers and to create a positive scientific and social experience for all the young people involved. A secondary goal is to expose other students in the CWSF’s geographic area to peer role models – the best young science and technology minds in the country.
The CWSF takes place in May in a different Canadian city each year. Youth Science Canada – affiliated Regional Science Fairs apply to host the CWSF up to four years in advance.
Next Event: May 18th to 20th, 2016 Montreal, Quebec

International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts and Responses
This knowledge community, with its conference, journal, book series and online forum, was created to address one of the most pressing issues of our time—climate change, its natural and human causes, its ecosystemic impacts and its human impacts. The knowledge community also concerns itself with technological, social, ethical and political responses to climate change.
The inaugural International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts and Responses, was held at the Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Environment Education and Research, Pune, India in 2009. The second conference was held at University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, in 2010; the third conference was held at Rio De Janeiro, Brazil in 2011; the fourth at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA in 2012; the fifth in Port-Louis, Mauritius in 2013; the sixth at the University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland in 2014; and the seventh will take place at UBC Robson Square in Vancouver, Canada in 2015.
