• Recommends priorities and guidelines for all practical and academic research efforts.
• Chooses and recommends a relevant graduate thesis from works submitted through a contest to be considered for publication by CERIC.

• Promotes and advocates the need for increased practical and academic research in this field across Canada.
• Identifies partners to participate in and contribute to research projects.
