NRC Annual Report 2001-2002

Photo montage of different NRC research activitiesNRC is the Government of Canada's leading resource for scientific research, development and technology-based innovation. Its outstanding people help turn ideas and knowledge into new products, processes and services, creating value for Canada.

As an organization with global, national, regional and local presence, NRC is a keystone of Canada's innovation system. NRC works hand-in-hand with partners from industry, government and universities to help ignite the spark of innovation in communities across the land and to give Canadian companies a competitive edge in today's marketplace.

NRC operates world-class research facilities as well as information, technology and innovation support networks from coast to coast.

In all, NRC is present in over 90 communities across Canada through its network of research institutes, technology and innovation centres, the NRC Industrial Research Assistance Program and the Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information.

NRC's impact extends even further through the thousands of partnerships, networks, collaborations, and national and international committees it is involved in.

NRC's work spans the innovation spectrum from scientific discoveries at the very frontiers of knowledge to technology commercialization. For over eight decades, NRC has successfully forecast Canada's opportunities and adapted itself to meet national priorities as well as the needs of its clients and partners.

It has organized forces around key sectors, such as biotechnology, information and communications technologies, aerospace, manufacturing, construction, ocean engineering and others.

NRC has moved boldly into important new fields, such as genomics, fuel cells, bioinformatics, high-performance computing, photonics, nanotechnology, and environmental and sustainable development technologies.

NRC is focused squarely on Canada's future and is committed to helping build the nation's knowledge and innovation capacity, and providing the tools to succeed in the knowledge economy.
