The AIMS team—with long experience in business, government, universities and the media—doesn’t merely produce research. We make a difference by linking ideas with today’s public policy challenges and making sure that business leaders, the media, policy makers and ordinary citizens have the knowledge and the understanding necessary to ensure that government action will contribute to a safer, stronger, freer and more prosperous region and country.
AIMS has built a strong reputation for bringing for attracting leading thinkers to Atlantic Canada to share their experiences. Check regularly to see what Coming Events are on our calendar and visit our Events Proceedings page to review the influence these ideas have had on our Atlantic Canadian audience.
