THE NCE PROGRAM
To enhance is to make better, to provide with improved
or advanced capabilities. To enhance value means to
take something of worth and turn it into something greater,
more useful or functional – with a capacity to have a
stronger impact.
The Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) program enhances
value. It takes important research that thousands of research
professionals are engaged in and enhances its value by bringing
it to the attention of industry partners who can turn it into
products to improve our quality of life and enrich our economy.
The NCE program enhances value by ensuring excellent research
results are put into the hands of leaders and policy-makers
so that they can make informed and enlightened decisions on
how to deal with the many challenges of the 21st century.
FOr example, it enhances value by encouraging new insights
into how to protect our natural resources and deal with climate
change. And it enhances value by making sure the latest developments
in defeating disease are delivered to doctors' offices and
hospital wards.
As the pages of this report show, the NCE program made great
advances throughout 2005-2006 in enhancing value by pooling
the talents of the academic, private and public sectors to
make life better for all Canadians.
