Exploring the Nano-Advantage

An industry-academic networking event

Industry and academics got together to highlight their R&D opportunities and challenges, exchange ideas, and to learn about industry-academic collaborative funding programs available through Queen’s Industry Partnerships and the NSERC Connect program. They also toured the NanoFabrication Kingston lab. Thanks to NSERC for sponsoring this event.
