Like a bridge between the Memorial and the community, the Harris Centre connects faculty, students and staff with people, communities and organizations throughout the province to encourage informed dialogue, mobilize knowledge, and build collaborations to create a vibrant democracy and prosperous and sustainable society in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Centre currently runs several programs that provide applied research funding and knowledge mobilization support, facilitate regional discussions on priority issues, provide public platforms for balanced discussion of key issues facing our province, and provide detailed local and regional data analytics services to governments, industry and faculty.
