TSAS believes that it is critical to cultivate a new generation of scholars interested in the interdisciplinary fields of terrorism, security and society. As such, TSAS provides students, emerging scholars and junior policy-makers with training and mentoring opportunities. The network will hold 3 issue-specific workshops with leading scholars, emerging scholars, students and policy analysts that will produce papers for publication in special journal issues and books. It will organize and administer an open call for original research, with proposals being adjudicated for both their academic merit and policy relevance; and it is establishing a week-long TSAS Summer Training Academy, involving leading Canadian and international scholars in the three areas of study.
