SSHRC has funding programs for scientific publications and journals, including a number in French. Through the research partnerships program, collaboration is also possible with the scientific community, civil society, industry and various other stakeholders. Those are ways of promoting the development and dissemination of knowledge in French. That is happening in social sciences and humanities research.
An umbrella organization overseeing the three research areas could use similar approaches to foster more scientific publication and research in French in the natural sciences, health and other fields.
