UAEM Canada

UAEM has chapters at over ten Canadian universities, and the number is growing every year! We share resources and ideas to transform the R&D practices of our universities.

Projects

We also work together on Canadian issues that go beyond our own universities:

• CAMR Reform: Please join us in supporting the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network's call for reforms to Canada's Access to Medicines Regime, a law that is supposed to allow Canadian drug companies to make generic versions of patented drugs for export to poor countries: http://www.aidslaw.ca/camr/
• CIHR Review: the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (federal funding agencies) are undergoing their international review in 2011, and we are preparing to use this opportunity to enhance their attention to global health matters: http://cihrglobal.wordpress.com/
