Canada Foundation for Innovation/Fondation canadienne pour l'innovation reposted this
Wrapping up a two days site visit to Ocean Networks Canada in Victoria, BC. Exciting and enlightening discussions on the future of Ocean Research and the international leadership role we play, thanks to ONC. Our International Standing Advisory Committee drawn from Canada, UK and the US did a fabulous job, much enriched the discussions and provided constructive feedback on how we can maintain and reinforce ONC international competitiveness. The site visit couldn’t be concluded without stopping by the Marine Technology Centre and without exchanging with the tech-savy Core of engineers at ONC. Canada Foundation for Innovation/Fondation canadienne pour l'innovation is a proud supporter of ONC and its world-leading observatories that provide continuous monitoring on the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic coasts of Canada and the Southern Ocean. Our investment in ONC is a great example on how CFI investments can support the blue economy, ocean-based climate solutions and socioeconomic benefits to Canada and the world. And I should conclude by saying that listening to our research community and providing them with an appropriate support require boots on the ground (and maybe a seaplane)
