Officially launched on 12 September 2024 at the University of Guelph, S-CAP aims to:
- Promote communication between scholars in Canada and Scotland with mutual research interests
- Highlight their research to the wider community
- Bring them into closer contact to nurture new research agendas, across a broad range of disciplines and domains.
For more information, see the S-CAP website or contact scottish@uoguelph.ca.
The inaugural lecture was given on 10 September 2025 by Professor Robert Dunbar of Edinburgh University entitled, "Gaelic in Scotland, Gaelic in Canada: Challenges, Prospects, Connections." The lecture was generously supported by the Scottish Government in Canada.
