CIBER Co-sponsors Program on Canadian-U.S.
Border Security

CIBER is a co-sponsor of the upcoming conference, “Homeland Security and Canada-U.S. Border Trade: Implications for Public Policy and Business Strategy,” which will take place in Windsor, Ontario, October 25-26. Designed for business executives, government officials and academics, the conference will assess American and Canadian security perspectives as it relates to Canada-U.S. border trade, review existing efforts to “keep the border closed to terrorists and open for trade,” and identify economically and politically feasible public policy and private sector strategies to achieve a viable and sustainable balance between homeland security and economic security for both nations.
 
This conference is by invitation only. CIBER will cover the conference registration fee, airfare to Detroit, ground transportation to the hotel and lodging expenses for up to two faculty or doctoral students. If you are interested in attending, please send a brief e-mail by 5 p.m. on Friday, September 14 describing your interest in the program and how it relates to your teaching and research interests to uwmadisonciber@bus.wisc.edu. Participants will need to pay for any meals not included in the conference. CIBER requires that sponsored participants provide a follow-up summary of their experience at the conference, including an evaluation of its value to the participant’s teaching and/or research interests.
