2008年8月30日,中国加研会第十二届常务理事会在济南召开了第二次会议。经过讨论和审议,完成了下列工作。
1.听取了南京财经大学冯建文教授对第十三届年会的筹备和论文提纲提交情况的汇报,并对会议的一些安排进行了讨论。大家了解到,南京财经大学校领导和外事处对年会在本校的召开十分重视,将给与大力支持。该校加拿大研究中心和外语系对于会议的召开在各方面都已经做了充分的准备,决心把把其办成最为成功的年会。常务理事会对此表示衷心的感谢,并寄于厚望。
截止到会议召开时,已有近80位国内外学者和学生提供了论文提纲。在国内提交的论文题目中,较多的涉及加拿大文学与教育,少有公共政策、法律、法制和经济。并且,一些主要的加拿大研究中心尚未提交提纲。有鉴于此,会议决定,由秘书处迅速催促有关研究中心,鼓励学者们提交研究缺失领域的论文,以便能够借鉴加拿大在国家治理和社会发展中取得的宝贵经验。
决定十三届年会采取论文评论人的做法,以提高年会的质量。会议之前成立论文审核委员会,由它根据题目和内容,确定对提交者是否进行交通费资助;确定了会务费的数额,决定根据会议获得资助的情况,对研究生的会务费给予一定的减免。

3.听取了中国加研会与《历史教学》社进行合作发表青年学者论文的情况汇报,同意在获得资助的情况下在与之再进行为期一年的合作,以弥补中国没有加拿大研究的正式刊物的缺憾。

On August 30, 2008, The 12thStanding Council of the ACSC held the second meeting at Shandong University . After discussing they accomplished the following work.

It was reported that leaders of Nanjing University of Finance and Economics attach importance to the conference to be held at their university and will give large support; the Canadian Studies Centre and Department of Foreign Languages have sufficient preparations and are determined to make the conference the most successful one. The Standing Council expresses thanks to them for their efforts and place high hopes on their success.
Up to now more than 80 Chinese and Canadian scholars and students have been submitted. However, considerable numbers of topics proposed by Chinese scholars fall within the areas of Canadian literature and education while the topics concerning public policies, law, political institution and economy are rarely dealt with. Furthermore, some important Canadian studies centres have not submitted paper outlines. Thus the Standing Council decides to urge these centres to act immediately and encourage scholars submit papers focusing topics in lacking areas so as to use for reference the valuable experience in Canadian governance and social development.
It has been decided that the 13thBiennial Conference adopt practice of making comments on keynote speeches to formalize the conference agenda. A paper examining committee will be established to decide who will be given travel support based on the topic and quality of the paper.

The conference will be held on Nov. 7-9, 2008. Nov. 6 is the day forregistering.
