Welcome to the Program for North American Mobility in Higher Education!

The Centre for Voluntary Sector Research and Development at Carleton University and Human Resources and Social Development Canada are pleased to host the Program for North American Mobility in Higher Education from September 28-30, 2008 in Ottawa Ontario Canada.

We look forward to meeting the project participants from Canada, United States and Mexico. The program has promoted a student-centered North American dimension to education and training, leading a number of bilateral and trilateral exchanges among the three countries.

This annual meeting provides a forum to network, to meet with funding agencies and to convene with consortium partners. The meeting format consists of focus sessions, plenary meetings, and opportunities for individual consortia to convene.

This web site provides information regarding logistics, registration, the agenda, and tourism in Ottawa. The annual meeting registration will be conducted through this web site and we encourage registering early. Hotel information can be found in the logistics section. We anticipate an active and enjoyable meeting, and welcome participants to Canada’s capital.
