UCN & the UWin CREATE Consortium
|
UCN is finalizing their role in a project that will see the formation of a new research consortium
called “UWin CREATE” (The University of Winnipeg Commercialization Research and Education
Alliance for Technology and the Environment). UWin CREATE will include a distributed
network of Cisco Tele-Presence sites, which will provide world-class immersive videoconferencing
capabilities to support the research and development, learning, and innovation objectives/
activities of the Alliance.
Plans are for two Tele-Presence nodes at the University of Winnipeg, one at Brandon University, one at
UCN and one in Ottawa - proposed for the International Institute of Sustainable Development. |
 |
The project will also see the establishment of a Research Chair in Collaborative Technologies
and the establishment of 27 new combined teaching/research labs at the Richardson College for
the Environment and Science Complex that will support the work of the Alliance.
Primary partners are University of Winnipeg, Brandon University and the University College of
the North. UCN is committed to participating in this collaborative effort and believes that it will
yield significant benefit for students, UCN and environmental research across the region. |
