Advocacy

The CCUBC was a member society of the Canadian Federation of Biology Societies until its closure on December 31, 2008. CCUBC is also a member of the Canadian Consortium of Research (CCR) in efforts to inform our political leaders about the importance of biology research and education to Canadians. CCUBC is currently involved in discussions for creating a new Canadian Life Science organization which would represent the life science community and advocate on its behalf.
