As the first science policy conference held after the federal election, it will be in a position to engage with and influence the critical issues of science and innovation policy facing the new government.

CSPC 2015 expects 500+ participants from various disciplines and sectors; academia, federal and provincial governments, private and non-profit sectors. Participants represent the "who's who" of science and innovation policy from both the current leadership cadre and the next generation of Canada's top scientists, business leaders and science policy experts.
