Initiative indo-pacifique

Le programme des bourses indo-pacifiques de la FAP Canada vise à accroître et à approfondir l’engagement du Canada dans la région indo-pacifique tout en faisant progresser les discussions politiques et le discours public sur les enjeux clés qui intéressent à la fois le Canada et ses partenaires dans toute l’Asie.

Les programmes, soutenus par le gouvernement du Canada dans le cadre de sa stratégie indo-pacifique, organisent des dialogues stratégiques et des tables rondes, soutiennent la prochaine génération de jeunes dirigeants de la région, mobilisent trois catégories de boursiers de toute la région indo-pacifique : chercheurs, chercheurs invités et journalistes, et soutiennent l’Initiative de recherche Inde-Canada (ICRI) basée à New Delhi au Conseil pour la recherche stratégique et de défense (CSDR), offrant une plateforme pour renforcer les relations bilatérales entre l’Inde et le Canada.

Strategic Dialogues & Roundtables

APF Canada convenes Strategic Dialogues and Roundtables that bring together policymakers, private sector leaders, and experts from think-tanks and academia. These sessions aim to build trust, test ideas, and translate them into actionable policy recommendations at a moment when Canada’s Indo-Pacific relationships are expanding rapidly. Our dialogues are designed to be policy-relevant and action-oriented.

Indo-Pacific Research Fellows

APF Canada’s Indo-Pacific Research Fellows (IPRF) program provides fellowships to researchers from the Indo-Pacific, fostering in-depth research on key issues impacting Canada and the Indo-Pacific region.

Through this program, APF Canada provides funding, editorial support, and a structured engagement plan that connects the Fellows' expertise to Canadian policy needs and, reciprocally, injects Canadian perspectives into regional debates.

Indo-Pacific Visiting Scholars

APF Canada’s Indo-Pacific Visiting Scholars program supports eminent thought leaders from Asia to travel to Canada to share their insights and expertise on the Indo-Pacific region’s security, technological, and economic challenges and opportunities.

This program, supported by the Government of Canada, injects authoritative Asian perspectives directly into Canada’s public discourse and policy process while simultaneously exposing influential regional voices from the Indo-Pacific to Canadian priorities and capabilities.

Indo-Pacific Young Leaders Program

The Indo-Pacific Young Leaders Program (IPYL) is an integral part of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada’s efforts to cultivate long-term ‘Canada competence’ among the region’s next generation of foreign-policy influencers – with funding support from the Government of Canada – by deepening their relationships, understanding, and connections with Canada. Participants gain firsthand insight into Canada’s approach to the Indo-Pacific, while developing valuable networks with Canadian government officials, industry leaders, and experts.

By engaging early- to mid-career professionals already embedded in government ministries, regional organizations such as ASEAN, think-tanks, media outlets, and universities, the program creates a network of emerging leaders who understand Canada, value continued engagement, and can champion bilateral co-operation throughout their careers.

India-Canada Research Initiative (ICRI)

As part of the Indo-Pacific Initiative supported by the Government of Canada, the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada launched the India-Canada Research Initiative (ICRI) in September 2024. Based in New Delhi at the Council for Strategic and Defense Research (CSDR), the ICRI provides a platform to strengthen bilateral relations between India and Canada through academic exchange, policy research, and strategic engagement, with a focus on enhancing bilateral co-operation across key sectors.

By bringing together stakeholders from both Canada and India, the ICRI helps to sustain essential communication channels during times of diplomatic strain and produces policy-focused research and recommendations that align with Canada’s broader Indo-Pacific Strategy.

Indo-Pacific Media Fellows

APF Canada’s Indo-Pacific Media Fellows program aims to boost Canada’s visibility in the region by supporting Asia-based journalists to travel to Canada to produce and publish written or broadcast pieces on topics related to maritime security, emerging technology (AI, innovation, and emerging and clean tech), economic and energy security (supply chain management, critical minerals, and energy transitions), or another area demonstrably relevant to Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy.

Under this program, supported by the Government of Canada, Media Fellows spend up to three weeks in Canada researching and preparing their stories for publication or broadcast upon their return to their home economy.
