The International Partnerships centre is responsible for managing the Canadian Urban Institute¡¦s international relationships and implementing our international activities.

We focus on sharing information about the management and governance of urban regions, bringing Canadian expertise to our partners in developing and transitioning countries, and in turn harnessing learnings from their work and sharing these through both South-South and South-North partnerships.

Our goal is to help our partners imagine a sustainable urban future and work towards it.

CUI is currently in the process of applying to CIDA to host internships. We anticipate internship opportunities will be posted after November 2009. We are not currently accepting applications. Please check this space regularly for updates.
