鈥淭here are three challenges at the heart of science, technology and innovation today: attracting the best minds, funding the most cutting-edge research and commercializing the best ideas,鈥� said Jim Prentice, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
In 2007, Prime Minister Stephen Harper released Canada鈥檚 Science and Technology Strategy, which identifies four areas of focus: the environment, natural resources and energy, information and communication technologies, and health and life sciences. The strategy also sets out a number of goals, including strengthening our knowledge base, focusing on excellence and attracting the best talent to come to or remain in Canada.
鈥湷扇薞R视频 is extremely well positioned to deliver cutting-edge research in the four areas the federal government has identified in its Science and Technology Strategy,鈥� said Denis Th茅rien, Vice-Principal (Research and International Relations). 鈥淲ith this funding from NSERC, our world-class professors and students will continue to create knowledge and opportunities for growth that are essential to our economy and community.鈥�
NSERC is a federal agency that supports some 25,000 university students and post-doctoral fellows in their advanced studies. NSERC funds more than 11,000 university professors every year and encourages more than 1,400 Canadian companies to participate and invest in university research projects.
