History
Science Atlantic is a federally incorporated, non-profit organization representing 18 post-secondary and research institutes in Atlantic Canada. It was founded in 1962 as the Atlantic Provinces Inter-University Committee on the Sciences (APICS) to encourage collaboration across Maritime universities and the government sector.
With offices in Dalhousie University's Life Sciences Building, the organization continues to provide networking and conference opportunities for undergraduate science students and faculty. Its activities include annual academic conferences in ten disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields; lecture tours by notable scientists; awards recognizing research and science communication skills; travel assistance for students to attend conferences; and workshops for faculty and students.
