Fellowship Programme
The CDA Institute Fellowship Programme brings together a diverse, multi-generational community of experts and practitioners committed to strengthening informed dialogue on Canada’s national defence and security.
CDA Institute Fellows are active members of the Institute’s community and ambassadors for its mission. Fellows contribute to the Institute’s research and programming, participate in events and public discussions, and engage with their professional networks to help broaden the national conversation on defence and security.
Together, our Fellows strengthen the Institute’s capacity to foster rigorous analysis, constructive debate, and informed discussion, and help build a stronger national community of defence and security expertise.
