Automotive Policy Research Centre (APRC)

The APRC conducts research and disseminates knowledge about the role of public policy in supporting Canada’s globally competitive automotive industry. The APRC was formed in 2012 as a collaborative research partnership funded by a grant from Automotive Partnership Canada (APC). Between 2012 and 2018, the APRC engaged university-based researchers, policy-makers, and industry stakeholders from Canada and abroad in a variety of research collaborations, resulting in dozens of publications, presentations, and events. In 2018, the APRC became an NGO that maintains partnerships with university-based researchers, policy-makers, and industry stakeholders, one that continues to pursue multi-disciplinary research related to the role of public policy in supporting the automotive industry in Canada.
