New ideas that could change lives for the better are being developed in labs at universities across Canada every day. Challenges can sometimes arise, though, when figuring out how to bring these new ideas out into the wider world where people can benefit from them.

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s committed itself to facing these obstacles when it founded the Dunin-Deshpande Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Innovation Centre (DDQIC) in 2012, which offers a range of programs that promote the connection between research and entrepreneurship in higher education. Now Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s is looking to take its efforts even further as part of the National Invention to Innovation (i2I) Network, a project led by Simon Fraser 카지노게임사이트 (SFU) that has just received more than $22 million in a . Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s involvement in the project is being led by DDQIC.

The National i2I Network will bring together 14 Canadian research universities and health research institutes, along with 57 partner organizations, to provide innovation, commercialization, and entrepreneurship training for students, researchers, and highly qualified personnel in STEM and healthcare fields.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Some of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s top research talent has unrealized potential, and the National Invention to Innovation Network aims to help them discover it and share it with the world,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Jim McLellan, Academic Director, DDQIC and National Associate Academic Director for i2I. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The programming the network will offer will empower participants to expand their leading-edge research work into ventures and other opportunities that will help them maximize the impact of their ideas.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Empowering researchers to realize the potential of their ideas

The network will build upon the success of the original i2I program founded at SFU, which has been helping researchers unlock an entrepreneurial mindset since 2015. To date, i2I has trained over 500 graduates from more than 30 universities. Program alumni are advancing Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s innovation ecosystem as founders of their own science-based ventures, as translational scientists and mentors in research labs, as innovation champions in science-based industries, and sometimes a combination of all these paths.

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s became the first external partner of the i2I program in 2020, and it has steadily become more involved, with DDQIC helping lead such initiatives as i2I카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Faculty Innovation Fellow Program Pilot, which was hosted in Kingston at the Donald Gordon Hotel and Conference Centre. DDQIC has also helped i2I establish a postdoctoral fellowship program focused on commercialization, which is also supported by , a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting innovation. Through DDQIC, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s is the Ontario East Academic Partner for i2I, and a number of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s-based ventures have participated in i2I programming, including CO2LTech, Dyamiris, and m-Detect.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�With so many close ties to i2I already in place, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s is well positioned to help the new national network achieve its goals,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Greg Bavington, Executive Director, DDQIC. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We카지노 게임 컬렉션�re very excited to lead Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s involvement in this important project and help inspire innovation across the country.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s is also a collaborator on another project that recently received Lab to Market funding from NSERC. The project is led by Dalhousie 카지노게임사이트 and is called Lab2Market: Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s National Network for Innovation, Commercialization and Entrepreneurship Skills Training of Students, Researchers and Highly Qualified Persons.

Queen's and DDQIC's Reputation for innovation

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s involvement in the National i2I Network builds upon its successes in promoting innovation and entrepreneurship over the past few years, both through DDQIC and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Partnerships and Innovation.
