 A new director joins the NCE program on a full-time basisOttawa, January 31, 2000 - Jean-Claude Gavrel is the new full-time director of the Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) program.  Prior
to joining the NCE program, Mr. Gavrel, a computer science graduate of the
University of Ottawa, worked for CATAAlliance (the Canadian Advanced Technology
Alliance) and was on executive loan to the Scientific Research and Experimental
Development Tax Credit Program of the Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency.
His previous appointments included terms as Vice-President of the Computer Research Institute of Montréal (CRIM), Vice-President of PRECARN Associates, and President of IVS Canada, a small Ottawa-based high technology firm. PRECARN is an industrial research consortium that manages one of the NCEs, the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Systems. Mr. Gavrel has over twenty years' experience in the delivery and management of high-tech product development and research programs, which will serve him well in his new position. This is the first time the program will have a dedicated director, a position created as the result of the program receiving a 63% budget increase in the last federal budget. The NCE Management and Steering Committees are grateful to André Isabelle for managing the program for the past two years while also heading NSERC's Strategic Projects and Research Networks Division. André will continue in his present capacity at NSERC and assume a new responsibility as the NSERC representative of the Industry Canada, Tri-Council and CFI Operational Committee for the 21st Century Chairs for Research Excellence.
