More than two million dollars has recently been awarded to the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The funding is to enable 40 projects across different faculties the opportunity to “solve the big problems”.

$124,239 of the funding is going to Dr John Schouten, the Canada Research Chair in Social Enterprise, in the Faculty of Business Administration: his project is entitled Cultural renewal in Newfoundland and Labrador: Lessons from Fishing for Success, a social enterprise in Petty Harbour, N.L. The Cambridge Centre for Social Innovation’s co-director, Dr Neil Stott, is one of the collaborators for both the funding bid and the project.
