Description: |
Industry Canada has partnered with SSHRC to offer this funding opportunity for Knowledge Synthesis Grants on leveraging public investments in HERD to stimulate innovation. The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to: describe the state of knowledge about international best practices in leveraging public investments in R&D in the higher education sector in order to stimulate innovation; mobilize knowledge about innovation and innovation systems between the academic and public policy sectors; and orm the basis of dialogue between academic researchers, and science and innovation policy-makers in government. Syntheses should focus on what the emerging best practices are in one or more of the following areas: creating and sustaining effective networks, collaboration and linkages of higher education researchers with industry, communities, governments and others; supporting cross-disciplinary research for greater innovation potential; the transfer of knowledge from higher education institutions to industry, including through technology transfer; commercialization; management of intellectual property agreements; and the mobility of people trained in research; and stimulating and supporting knowledge receptor capacity in industry, including the role of government-funded or private sector intermediaries in identifying opportunities for university research to support firm and market objectives and needs. |
