Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) program competition - Dalhousie Information Session - Wednesday, April 12^th from 10:00 – 11:30 am

The NCE Secretariat expects to launch a competition for the NCE program in Fall 2017.  Networks can receive up to $25M from NCE over a five-year period.  The NCEs are large-scale academic-led research networks that bring together multi-disciplinary partners from academia, industry, government and not-for-profit organizations.  Partners provide additional expertise and contribute cash and in-kind support. Networks perform R&D as well as translation and commercialization activities.  They also enable Canadian researchers and students to work with receptor communities to accelerate the creation and application of knowledge.  For more information, visit the NCE website.

Dalhousie researchers are invited to an NCE information session on Wednesday, April 12^th from 10:00 am – 11:30 am in Room #1007, Ken Rowe Management Building. Representatives from the Vice-President Research Office, Dalhousie Research Services and Dalhousie’s current NCE (Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response (MEOPAR)), will provide information on the NCE competition, the operation of an NCE, and Dalhousie’s internal selection process for those interested in pursuing this funding opportunity.
