SASKATOON, SK, May 3, 2024
/CNW/ - Join the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council
(SSHRC) at the Science Writers and Communicators of Canada (SWCC) conference, for the annual SSHRC
Storytellers Challenge showcase.
In this annual challenge, SSHRC asks postsecondary students to
show Canadians, in up to three minutes or 300 words, how social
sciences and humanities research is affecting our lives, our world
and our future for the better. At the showcase event, the top 20
finalists, chosen from a pool of nearly 200 submissions from
students across Canada, will
present their inspiring stories to a panel of judges and the SWCC
audience, for a chance to be named a Final Five winner. SSHRC
president, Ted Hewitt, will announce
the winners following the showcase.
Each finalist receives a prize of $3,000. The Final Five winners will receive an
additional $1,000 in recognition of
their outstanding research communication skills.
Members of the media wishing to cover the event are asked to
confirm their attendance in advance by emailing
