The Conference objectives are as follows:

• To provide opportunities for Indian scholars and researchers in the area of French Canadian Studies and other disciplines such as Science, Technology and Management to share their work with their French Canadian counterparts and others.
• To encourage French Canadian Studies participation from Canadian provinces other than Quebec.
• To provide networking opportunities for participating Quebec institutions for the purpose of further engagement with Shastri member institutions in India.
