The University of Ottawa’s Francophone mission is central to its history and identity. In 2003, the University created the Research Chair in Canadian Francophonie program, which now coordinated by the CCRMF.
The renewal and development of the Chaires de recherche sur le monde francophone (CRMF) program and the creation of new research chairs in 2019 are proof of the University’s intention to build on its heritage of teaching and research for the community in Ontario, across Canada and abroad.
Today, the CCRMF plays an active role within the University, contributing to the excellence of Francophone research and the dissemination of scholarly work in French to many partners.
The CCRMF helps create an environment that furthers educational and scholarly experiences for a multicultural Francophone community.
