[Candrama] Craig Dobbin Legacy Programme: Scholarships for UCD and Canadian Researchers

[Paul Halferty]

Dear Colleagues,



It is my pleasure to share with you details of the Craig Dobbin Legacy
Programme (CLDP), which was launched on Wednesday
<https://www.ucd.ie/artshumanities/newsandevents/craigdobbinlegacyprogramme/>
at
University College Dublin by Canadian Ambassador to Ireland, Nancy Smyth.



The Craig Dobbin Legacy Programme (CDLP) is an initiative of the Ireland
Canada University Foundation (ICUF), the UCD Centre for Canadian Studies,
and UCD’s College of Arts and Humanities. The programme, which marks the
end of the Craig Dobbin Visiting Chair in Canadian Studies at UCD, aims at
planting the seeds for a whole new phase of UCD’s engagement with scholars
and universities in Canada, and Canadian Studies over the coming years.



The CDLP has two distinct strands: strand one is the Craig Dobbin Legacy
Scholarships, and strand two is a series of high-profile lectures that will
take place in Ireland and in Canada. Details of the lecture series will be
shared in the coming months.



Scholarships Details

The Craig Dobbin Legacy Scholarships support individual scholars on 2-4
week research trips between Ireland and Canada. This scheme will award 30
scholarships in total, 15 of the scholarships will be awarded to UCD
