A lot of talk about strategy (intramural and extramural) and the coherence necessary to effectively work internationally #CSPC2019

Subnational diplomacy, especially with the US, is a direction Canada and other nations are taking these days... Developing collaborations on the state/province/city level #CSPC2019
