Canada produces world-class research. But how much of the value it creates stays here?

@McMasterU President Susan Tighe (@McMasterProvost) makes the case for turning more research into Canadian technologies, companies and jobs. We know how to produce the ideas. Now we need to get better and faster at putting them to work here at home.

Le Canada réalise des travaux de recherche de calibre mondial, mais en profite-t-il vraiment?

Dans cet article, la rectrice de la @McMasterU Susan Tighe (@McMasterProvost) appelle à mieux exploiter le potentiel de la recherche pour créer des technologies, des entreprises et des emplois au Canada. Le pays déborde d’idées. Il faut désormais faire en sorte de les concrétiser ici-même.
