The CEFMF is home to the interdisciplinary study of France and the francophone world at the University of Toronto. Established in 2007 at the initiative the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the University of Toronto, the Centre is the first and only of its kind to be awarded the French Embassy in Canada’s centre d’excellence label for the breadth and quality of its activities.
It sponsors a wide range of programs bringing together scholars and students within the University, from across Canada, and from around the world. The Centre supports pathbreaking interdisciplinary research into various aspects of the francophone world, encourages its study at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and engages in outreach towards the broader community across the Greater Toronto Area.
