The Alex Trebek Forum for Dialogue has provided 12 uOttawa Centres and Institutes with the opportunity to examine public policy, help update or create new laws and regulations and to safeguard the rights and wellbeing of citizens, through three research projects whose work is conducted over a three year period. The projects are united under the Smart Changes for a Better World banner.
Alex Trebek Forum for Dialogue
Our world is changing at an unprecedented rate, challenging policymakers to keep up with advancements and economic, social, and political innovations. This progress requires us to re-examine existing public policies and update or create new laws and regulations to help shape the new realities of our world, while safeguarding the rights and wellbeing of citizens. The Alex Trebek Forum for Dialogue provides the University of Ottawa’s greatest research minds with the opportunity to do just that.
