Enabling Global Leadership in Vision Science

约克大学是加拿大第三大大学，拥有11个学院，28个研究中心，与世界各地的顶尖大学建立了288个合作伙伴关系。我们的CFREF建议，视觉：从科学到应用(Vista)将纽约世界著名的视觉研究中心和其他六个跨越五个学院的协同研究所和中心聚集在一起，将纽约在从神经生理学到感知和计算视觉的跨学科视觉科学领域的全球领导地位推向新的高度。Vista得到了过去6年超过1.87亿美元的资本项目和2600万美元的新资本项目资金的支持。我们将吸引最优秀和最聪明的国际人才，包括加拿大研究教席(CRC)、研究增强招聘和高素质的研究生和博士后研究员，以达到人与技术之间的视觉科学的下一个前沿，推动包括医疗、康复、老龄化、神经技术、机器人、数字媒体和监控在内的多个高需求领域的科学和创新。我们将通过创建VISTA专用约克研究教席(YRCS)来增强我们现有最佳人员的研究经验，YRCS是约克的内部计划，旨在通过提供CRC级别的福利来促进研究人员的留住。13个新的CRC和研究增强教授的招聘，最多10个YRC的分配，以及226个新的毕业生和博士后实习生的支持，表明了我们对全球卓越研究的持续承诺。Vista的动员和商业化中心(MC2)将与约克的知识动员部门和创新约克合作，通过重点翻译研究和商业化途径，支持Vista对加拿大人产生切实影响的研究的商业化。

York University is Canada's third largest university with 11 faculties, 28 research centres and 288 partnerships with leading universities worldwide. Our CFREF proposal, Vision: Science to Applications (VISTA) brings together York's world renowned Centre for Vision Research and six other synergistic Institutes and Centres spanning five Faculties to propel York's global leadership in interdisciplinary vision science from neurophysiology to perception and computational vision to new heights. VISTA is supported by over $187M in capital projects over the past 6 years and a new investment of $26M in capital project funding. We will attract the best and brightest international talent including Canada Research Chairs (CRCs), Research Enhanced Hires and highly-qualified graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to reach the next frontier in vision science at the interface between humans and technology, advancing science and innovation across multiple high-need sectors including health, rehabilitation, aging, neurotechnology, robotics, digital media and surveillance. We will enhance the research experience of our best existing people through the creation of VISTAdedicated York Research Chairs (YRCs), York's internal program to promote research faculty retention through the provision of CRC-level benefits. The alignment of 13 new CRC and researchenhanced professorial hires, the allocation of up to ten YRCs and the support of 226 new graduate and postdoctoral trainees demonstrates our continued commitment to global research excellence. VISTA's Mobilization and Commercialization Centre (MC2) will work with York's Knowledge Mobilization unit and Innovation York to support commercialization of VISTA's research into tangible impacts for Canadians through focused translational research and commercialization pathways.
