Canadian universities play an instrumental role in developing a dynamic innovation system to provide for Canada’s social, economic and cultural advancement. Universities above all others are institutions that nurture the key ingredients of innovation: acquiring new knowledge, comparing ideas, seeking solutions, fostering inventiveness. As Canada strives to address the challenges of today and tomorrow, it must be able to rely on its universities. This means adopting a more global view of innovation and, first and foremost, supporting research across all fields of knowledge.
