CDA Institute

The CDA Institute conducts in-house research and publishes external contributors, organizes student conferences, provides paid internships, subsidizes student participation at our events, recognizes excellence in the field by issuing awards such as the Vimy Award and the Captain Nichola Goddard Award, and hosts events including our Metro Expert Series Webinars, the Ottawa Conference on Security & Defence, the Montreal Climate Security Summit, and the Vimy Gala. Through these initiatives, we sustain, renew, and strengthen a community of practitioners, scholars, and policy-makers who care about Canada’s role in the world and are keen to learn from one another to help promote a rational and evidence-based approach to Canadian security and defence.
