PartnershipsThe Research and Analysis Division has taken the lead in developing different vehicles for research collaboration and is involved in different research groups in order to foster the development of an active, multi-disciplinary research community on issues related to public infrastructure in Canada's communities. These research collaborations involve other federal government departments and agencies, other levels of government, universities and research institutes, the private sector and other experts.
World Bank On June 21, 2006, a Memorandum of Understanding in support of sustainable development objectives was signed between Infrastructure Canada and the World Bank. Commonwealth Local Government ForumInfrastructure Canada provides ongoing support for the development of the CLGF's Infrastructure Canada's Horizontal Research Roundtable on InfrastructureEstablished in the fall of 2003 by the Research and Analysis Division, the Horizontal Research Roundtable on Infrastructure (HRRI) brings together more than 25 federal government departments and organizations to facilitate and foster targeted collaborative research on infrastructure. Members of the Roundtable meet regularly to share and strengthen their knowledge, identify opportunities to advance shared research interests and undertake new research on critical horizontal issues. The HRRI's activities are currently focused on six priority areas for research:

ADM-Level Network on Infrastructure ResearchIn April 2003, Infrastructure Canada formed the ADM-level Network on Infrastructure Research to actively pursue opportunities to strengthen relationships among federal counterparts with an interest in infrastructure research. Currently about 40 ADM-level colleagues from 25 federal departments and agencies are members, exchanging information on research needs and activities, receiving regular updates from Infrastructure Canada on infrastructure research activities, and meeting once a year or so. Later in 2003, as a direct result of the Network's first meeting, the Horizontal Research Roundtable on the State of Infrastructure (the predecessor to today's HRRI) was created to facilitate collaboration in areas of common interest within the federal family at the working-level. The ADM Network helps to guide the HRRI's activities (e.g., by identifying research priorities) and the HRRI's work feeds back into the Network to inform policy and decision-making. Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - International Futures ProgrammeInfrastructure Canada has taken a leading role in a two-year research project that looks at the future of infrastructure, "Global Infrastructure Needs: Prospects and Implications for Public and Private Actors". Coordinated by the The report “Infrastructure to 2030 - Telecom, Land Transport, Water and Electricity” was published in July 2006, and the follow-up report “Infrastructure to 2030: Mapping Policy for Electrictiy, Water and Transport” was released in August 2007. Infrastructure Canada was one of the funders of the research project, and was part of the international steering group directing the work. Infrastructure Canada has also partnered with the OECD, the Province of Ontario, and the City of Toronto to produce a Metropolitan Review of Toronto. This study will involve in-depth analysis of the economic, social, cultural, environmental and intergovernmental collaboration factors affecting the Toronto metropolitan region’s long-term prosperity. The study will be completed in early 2009 Infrastructure Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories Research CollaborationInfrastructure Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories Related documents:
