Description
NSERC has released its new strategic plan, NSERC 2020, which outlines five goals intended to foster the success of discovery and innovation in Canada:
- Help the next generation of researchers launch their independent careers.
- Build a science culture to improve awareness and understanding of science and engineering.
- Increase the diversity (populations, institutions, regions, sectors) and competitiveness of the research base.
- Strengthen the dynamic between discovery and innovation.
- Goglobal to increase Canadian participation in and access to international research.
NSERC thanks members of the community who provided input on this plan during consultations to help articulate a clear mission for NSERC: to be the focal point for discovery and innovation in the natural sciences and engineering in Canada.
