UNIVERSITIES
It takes a network of talents to meet 21st century challenges.
Dr. Peter Frise, Program Leader and CEO for AUTO21, put it
best: "Whether a project focuses on child seat safety,
alternative fuels or manufacturing processes, the research
teams consist of people from disciplines that may not traditionally
work together. Engineers, nurses, lawyers, economists, and
psychologists are just a few examples of the disciplines that
create AUTO21. By pairing these fields together, the scope
of expertise widens and allows for innovative solutions to
automotive issues."
The NCE program works in a true partnership with 194 universities
across Canada and around the world. While the individual Canadian
institutions pay the professors' salaries, provide facilities
and administrative support, and supply a pool of talented
students and postdoctoral fellows, the NCE program mobilizes
project partnerships so that these academic experts –
from a variety of disciplines – can interact within
their own institutions and with institutions across the country.
