PAGSE is a cooperative association of more than 20 national organizations in Science and Engineering, representing over 50,000 individual scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and public service. Formed in June 1995 to represent the Canadian science and engineering community, PAGSE’s mandate is to educate and inform federal Parliamentarians, decision makers and other leaders of the importance and significance of Canadian research and innovation to economic development, and society as a whole. PAGSE became a non-profit organization in 2020.

About PAGSE

Thanks to the generous support of the Speakers of the House of Commons and Senate, the Bacon and Eggheads breakfasts returned to Parliament Hill in 2025-26. Throughout the parliamentary year, Parliamentarians and other federal decision-makers had the opportunity to hear from leading and emerging researchers in Arctic sea ice, forest fires, and energy systems. If you missed any of the presentations, recordings are available here.

Preparations for the next season of Bacon and Eggheads are already underway:
