Francophonie Consultation 2026, led by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Citizenship and Minorities (CIRCEM), will help us develop a new strategic vision of the Francophonie at the uOttawa, one that will strengthen its central place in uOttawa’s teaching and research mission and in our campus life.
Francophonie Consultation 2026
The University of Ottawa is organizing a consultation on the Francophonie for the University community.
About the consultation
Who is Francophonie Consultation 2026 for?
The consultation is for all University community members: students, support staff, professors, Anglophones, Francophones and Allophones.
uOttawa partners (Francophone universities and institutions in Canada and elsewhere, research bodies and networks, government ministries and bodies) will also be consulted.
Students will be consulted in March and April. Support staff and professors will be consulted in April and June. Finally, uOttawa partners will be invited to be part of the consultation this fall.
Results of the consultation will be compiled in a report to be published in spring 2027.
