Comme chaque année, trois universités de la côte ouest canadienne (SFU, UBC et UVIC) se réunissent pour organiser le Colloque en Études Francophones de la Côte Pacifique (CEFCP), un événement destiné aux étudiant.e.s francophones au niveau supérieur (doctorat et maîtrise) faisant des recherches ayant trait à l’éducation, les études culturelles, littéraires et linguistiques, ou dans d’autres domaines des sciences sociales (anthropologie, sociologie, économie, sciences politiques, etc.). Le colloque sert de plateforme académique pour l’échange intellectuel de connaissances sur des questions contemporaines de la vie politique, culturelle et linguistique auxquelles les sociétés francophones sont confrontées. Pour ces raisons, le CEFCP a à cœur d’accueillir des étudiant.e.s de divers horizons canadiens et internationaux.
