Everything old is new again: Proven ingredients to successful mission-oriented program design from the Networks of Centres of Excellence Program
L’art de faire du neuf avec du vieux : les ingrédients éprouvés d’une conception réussie de programmes axés sur la mission du programme des Réseaux de centres d’excellence

Panel Organized by: BioCanRx

Mission-oriented research and innovation serve the idea that societies should leverage research and innovation activities to achieve clear, ambitious goals. Activities can span different stages of the innovation cycle from research to market deployment and cut across various policy fields, sectors and disciplines. Although slated for termination in 2024, the Network Centres of Excellence (NCE) program’s rich history, program structure, successes and failures should be used to inform and efficiently implement future mission-oriented research and innovation program design. The panellists will provide examples of NCE program successes and failures through funding renewal and early termination from their own experiences with this program.
