Canada Research Coordinating Committee welcomes Alejandro Adem as chair

The members of the Canada Research Coordinating Committee (CRCC) are pleased to welcome Alejandro Adem, president of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), as chair, effective January 1, 2024. Adem previously served as chair in 2021 and 2022.

The position rotates annually between the presidents of Canada’s three federal research funding agencies—the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and NSERC.

On behalf of his CRCC colleagues, Adem thanked the outgoing chair, Ted Hewitt, president of SSHRC, for his service in 2023.

“Over the last five years, the CRCC members have worked ever more closely together, engaging communities, institutions and researchers, to coordinate support for an increasingly equitable, connected and innovative research enterprise,” said Adem. “I look forward to continuing our work together over my next term.”
