Institutional Members
The RSC officially launched the Institutional Member (IM) Programme in 2004. The goal was to provide a mechanism by which, on the one hand, the Society could develop its programmes in conjunction with Canadian universities, and on the other hand, universities could have formal and direct input into the strategic organization and governance of the Society. This closer relationship facilitates the nomination of new Fellows from all Canadian universities, and provides a home for the Society to sponsor scholarly activities at institutions of all sizes across Canada. Today 46 universities and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) are Institutional Members of the Society.

“...wasting the energies of the race by neglecting to develop the intelligence of the members to whom its most precious resources must be entrusted, already seems a childish absurdity.”
