Our mission is an excellent one
Simply put, the NCE program exists for one reason: to make Canada
stronger.
It accomplishes this by encouraging excellence in research, building
bridges between the best and brightest scientists who are doing
that research, and enabling their outstanding work to make it to
the marketplace so it can improve our quality of life and energize
our economy.
The networks promote partnerships between researchers by empowering
multi-disciplinary, collaborative "What if?" approaches
to meet the scientific challenges of the 21st century – whether
they be in the fields of health, manufacturing, natural resources
or advanced technology.
Call it knowledge translation, technology transfer or just clearing
the path of obstacles that prevent academic investigation from becoming
real-life application, the NCE program ensures that scientific innovation
makes it out of the laboratory and into the world, where it can
do the most good.
