The award

The John G. Diefenbaker Award enables distinguished German scholars in the social sciences or humanities to conduct research in Canada.

Background

This award was created in 1991 in memory of former Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker. It is the counterpart to the Konrad Adenauer Award, which the Government of Germany established in 1988 for scholars from Canada. Both awards are designed to encourage exchange between the university communities of Canada and Germany.
