Capacity development
We invest in building skills and experience among family scholars.
Our commitment
In keeping with our founders’ vision to serve as a “Royal Commission on the family that should never be discharged,” the Vanier Institute is committed to ensuring the sustainability, depth, and strength of Canada’s family research sector.
Our approach
We nurture current and future generations of family researchers and others with an interest in families by providing placement and internship opportunities for students and graduates in family research and knowledge mobilization.
