Federal and Academic Science: Success through Partnership
Science fédérale et universitaire : le succès par le partenariat

Panel Organized by: Canadian Nuclear Laboratories

Research has increasingly become collaborative, a trend motivated by many factors, including the effectiveness of interdisciplinary science, the efficiency of shared infrastructure and equipment, and a stronger emphasis on challenge driven research to generate socio-economic impacts. The pandemic has underscored the importance of collaboration and has demonstrated that the research ecosystem is nimble and can achieve great things quickly when researchers work together to advance common goals. With accessible resources and strong leadership, our expectations of what is possible through collaboration has never been higher. This panel brings together individuals from a range of federal departments and laboratories, as well as from the academic community, to answer key questions about where federal/academic research collaboration can take us, and how we will get there.
