Research Capacity and Enhanced Student Training Through Innovation

自1967年以来，寒武纪学院一直是安大略省北部领先的高等教育机构。寒武纪在萨德伯里、埃斯帕诺拉和马尼图林岛的三个校区都有一个充满活力的社区。在过去的五年中，寒武纪已经成为全球高等教育的首选目的地，正如连续五年的招生增长所证明的那样，其中包括来自30多个国家的国际学生增加了300%。更具体地说，寒武纪研发，寒武纪学院的应用研究部门，自2009年成立以来，一直在发展合作伙伴关系，并提供创新的研究解决方案。在此期间，学院承担了247个应用研究项目，涉及从采矿到健康科学等领域，杠杆资金超过1260万美元。仅在过去的两年里，寒武纪就与41家公司合作完成了50个项目。寒武纪正在寻求资金，以支持其应用研究部门的技术和业务发展资源，以不断满足其合作伙伴的创新需求。此外，寒武纪也要求资金执行项目与行业和社区合作伙伴的年度投资组合。提供这些活动的重点是为学生提供体验式学习机会，并为他们未来的工作提供培训。寒武纪研发在过去的五年里一直在稳步增长，这项工作的成果已经在我们的社区和我们的行业合作伙伴产生了影响。动员赠款提出了一个分水岭的机会，以巩固资源和专业知识，寒武纪研发一直朝着建设。拥有专门的研究和业务发展资源将使该系能够继续在其他领域发展，即卫生科学和社区参与的研究。这笔资金对我们的合作伙伴很重要，因为它将使他们能够开发更多的高科技产品和服务，从而扩大业务，增加竞争优势和收入。这最终将创造出新的高技能工作岗位。随着我们在研究工程和业务发展方面的资源的稳定，寒武纪将能够将应用研究推向新的高度。这个基础将使学院能够不断满足其合作伙伴的创新需求，并培养下一代高技能和创新的工人。

Cambrian College has been the leading post-secondary institution in Northern Ontario since 1967. Cambrian has a vibrant community across its three campuses in Sudbury, Espanola, and Manitoulin Island. Over the past five years, Cambrian has become a global destination of choice for postsecondary education, as demonstrated by five years of consecutive enrolment growth, including a 300% increase in international students from over 30 countries. More specifically, Cambrian R&D, Cambrian College's Applied Research department, has continued to develop partnerships and deliver innovative research solutions since its inception in 2009. In that time, the College has undertaken 247 applied research projects in sectors from mining to health sciences, accounting for over $12.6 million of leveraged funding. In only the past two years, Cambrian has worked with 41 companies to complete 50 projects. Cambrian is seeking funding to support technical and business development resources in its Applied Research department in order to keep meeting the innovation needs of its partners. Moreover, Cambrian is also requesting funding to execute an annual portfolio of projects with both industry and community partners. The key focus in delivering these activities is student experiential learning opportunities and training them for the jobs of tomorrow. Cambrian R&D has been steadily growing over the past five years and the outcomes of this work has made an impact in our community and with our industry partners. The Mobilize grant presents a watershed opportunity to solidify the resources and expertise that Cambrian R&D has been building towards. Having dedicated research and business development resources will allow the department to continue to grow in other sectors, namely health sciences and community-engaged research. This funding is important for our partners as it will allow them to develop more high-tech products and services which will lead to business expansion, increased competitive advantage and revenues. This will ultimately lead to the creation of net new highly-skilled jobs. With our resources in research engineering and business development stabilized, Cambrian will be able to take applied research to new heights. This foundation will allow the College to keep meeting the innovation needs of its partners and train the next generation of highly-skilled and innovative workers.
