Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) General Overview
|
As CMU looks to the future, and the contribution it expects to make to the national research agenda, it is clear that connection to MRnet is imperative to its continued
growth and connectedness to other research centres locally and globally.
Several projects currently underway will benefit from the connection to this high
speed network. These include research in digital imaging that requires access to hundreds
of high resolution images of primary documents and artifacts, each requiring
100-MByte images which can be manipulated in various ways; and projects in
mathematics,
which require
downloading
and transfer of
significant
quantities of
data.

In addition, it
will be extremely
beneficial
as a small
institution to
have the capacity
to link researchers
through the use
of video conferencing. The addition of this option will heighten the capacity of the
institution to engage in strategic collaborative research and other educational endeavours
with sister institutions, research institutes and non-governmental organizations
across the country and in various parts of the world in which CMU is currently engaged
(South Africa, Guatemala, Tuebingen, Germany). Such collaborative endeavour
is critical to the growth of the research agenda at CMU, given the small
number of faculty in many of its disciplines and departments.
