WESTERN CANADIAN INNOVATION OFFICE CONSORTIUM
CALL FOR PROJECT PROPOSALS
The goal of the Western Canadian Innovation Office Consortium (WCIO) is to increase the competitiveness of the Western Canadian energy sector through collaboration of industry with universities, colleges and polytechnics. To do this, WCIO member organizations will match their available R&D capabilities, expertise, facilities, equipment and technologies to key industry challenges and opportunities.
WCIO will actively pursue precompetitive partnerships with industry through industry defined challenges and opportunities. This will have significant economic benefit and ultimately create jobs. WCIO will train HQP in the skill of interfacing, assessing and securing collaboration with industry. WCIO member organizations will work effectively with industry to create collaborative consortia and facilitate partnering of companies with the best expertise, regardless of the geographic location or organization type.
This project has been funded by Western Economic Diversification for a 2 year period beginning July 2015 and is a pilot project focused on the energy sector. Currently there are 36 institutions that are members of WCIO.
Projects should be sent no later than December 11, 2015 to Darren.fast@umanitoba.ca with the subject line: “WCIO Project Submission”
Additional details and submission form are appended.
