Current Opportunities

The Harris Centre Fellowship

We’re excited to launch a new year-long fellowship program to help tomorrow’s policy leaders gain the skills and networks they need to make a difference! Learn more by visiting our Fellowship page below.

Local Research Archive

We fund applied research projects in Newfoundland and Labrador that range from water sanitation, to folklore, to democratic innovations. Check out our online archive of over 20 years of reports and find resources for class or inspiration for your next project!

Public Forums & Events

We host policy forums, public talks, workshops, and other free events open to the public throughout the year. These events are a great way for students to learn about how policy is discussed and communicated in real-world settings.
