The initiative proposes a fellowship program to establish a Canadian-Indo Pacific research institute at OP Jindal Global University in India, managed by Wilfrid Laurier University. The program will fund Canadian scholars for research placements focused on sustainable trade, ESG compliance, and gender equity in the workforce. Over two years, it will award fellowships of $15,000 for master’s students, $18,000 for doctoral students, and $70,000 for postdoctoral fellows, with placements ranging from 4–6 months (students/faculty) to 12 months (postdocs).
