Description: |
The Strategic Workshops Program (SWP) is intended to fund workshops for building new collaborations between Canadian academic researchers and the industry and government receptor community that will result in future economic, environmental or societal benefits to Canada. The objectives of the program are also aligned with NSERC?s Strategy for Partnerships and Innovation, which provides support for building new relationships in particular between higher education researchers and Canadian businesses. The objective of the SWP is to bring together academic researchers with non-academic end users and create new partnerships through workshops that develop collaborations addressing research and technology needs identified by the user community. The workshops are intended to generate new university-industry-government partnerships that will lead to new collaborative research activities. |

Application Details: |
Workshops are intended for small, highly focused groups, with attendance expected to range from 20 to 40 participants from multiple Canadian universities and non-academic organizations. An award may support the participation of Canadian academics and up to two foreign participants who can provide examples of best practices in the field and help build collaborations among Canadian organizations. The workshops must be held in Canada. Funds may be used to organize a single workshop or several events of more limited participation. An NSERC-funded workshop must take place in the 12 months that follow the announcement of the award. Proposals can be submitted at any time by NSERC-eligible applicants and university administrators who do not hold academic appointments (i.e., University-industry Liaison Officers, Research Grant Officers). However, university and non-academic collaborators are expected to work together to prepare proposals. Full instructions on how to complete an application and use of the on-line submission system are found on NSERC's On-line Services page.
