Please note changes to the following research centres, effective April 1, 2024:
The Energy, Mining and Environment Research Centre will become the Clean Energy Innovation Research Centre. This reflects a commitment to accelerating Canada’s transition to a net-zero economy, built on clean energy and decarbonized industries.
The Advanced Electronics and Photonics, Nanotechnology, and Security and Disruptive Technologies research centres will merge into the new Quantum and Nanotechnologies Research Centre to enhance our capabilities in quantum technologies, photonics, electronics and nanomaterials.
We are working diligently to update our web content accordingly.
