Evidence for the public good.

The Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) is a trusted voice at the intersection of research, society, and public policy, convening expertise and assessing knowledge to advance evidence-informed decision-making in Canada and internationally.

Through expert-led multidisciplinary assessments that draw on evidence from across sectors and communities, the CCA brings clarity, rigour, and balance to understanding the evidence on complex policy topics in diverse areas including health, the environment, public safety, innovation, and the economy.
