Human Security Fellowships are a key component of the Canadian Consortium on Human Security (CCHS) program. They are intended to foster innovative research and policy development on a range of human security issues. The CCHS, funded by the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT), directs and administers the Fellowships.
The fellowship program reflects the Canadian government's human security agenda, encompassing projects that address conflict prevention, humanitarian and peace support operations, security-related governance and accountability issues, as well as international norms and institutions that relate to this human security agenda. The central focus of this agenda is the security threats to citizens posed by conflict, involuntary movement of peoples, extremist social movements, transnational crime, and environmental change.
The Centre for Global Studies at the University of Victoria is one of three founding partners in the Consortium, along with University of British Columbia, University of Quebec at Montreal, and Royal Roads University, and offers additional support through the sponsorship of Human Security Fellowship candidates.
