Newsletter - September 2023
 
2023-2024 marks CIRANO's 30th anniversary!


A series of activities will be organized throughout the year in Quebec and Ontario to celebrate our 30 years of existence and highlight our research community and the expertise we've acquired over the years.

For 30 years, CIRANO's reputation has been built on the application of economic approaches using rigorous methodologies and evidence-based data. We are proud to contribute over the years to the development of innovative public policies and to help improve the competitiveness of organizations.

The launch of the 30th anniversary activities will take place on September 20, in the presence of CIRANO's partners and the research community. This event will follow the annual meeting of CIRANO researchers.

During the event, we will have the pleasure of welcoming Julie Gingras, Quebec's Deputy Minister of Finance, who will talk about our partnership with the Quebec Ministry of Finance in addressing contemporary issues facing our society.


Stay tuned for the coming year's program!
