Ensuring fair access and responsible stewardship

Good governance is more than oversight — it’s about building trust with the researchers, students, and communities we serve. That means setting clear rules for fair access, being transparent about how resources are allocated, and ensuring every decision reflects our mission as a Canadian charity

Our Approach

By combining strong leadership with transparent policies, we ensure that myresearchcloud.ca remains equitable, sustainable, and accountable as it grows. Our governance principles are rooted in fairness, openness, and a long-term commitment to Canadian research.

Structure and Oversight

myresearchcloud.ca is operated by Computing for Humanity, a Canadian registered charity. We are guided by a governance model that puts transparency and fairness first:

• A volunteer Board of Directors provides strategic oversight.

• Clear policies on eligibility, privacy, and data residency ensure that resources are shared equitably and remain in Canada.

Transparency in Practice
