Description (French)
Le Programme des réseaux de centres d’excellence dirigés par l’entreprise (RCE-E) finance des réseaux de recherche collaboratifs d’envergure qui apportent un vaste éventail d’expertise en recherche pour résoudre des problèmes précis qu’un secteur industriel a cernés. Dirigés par un consortium sans but lucratif de partenaires industriels, les RCE‑E favorisent l’innovation dans le secteur privé en combinant l’expertise universitaire et la motivation du secteur privé à résoudre des défis concrets. Les RCE-E accroissent les investissements du secteur privé dans la recherche canadienne, contribuent à la formation de chercheurs compétents, et accélèrent la transformation des idées du laboratoire en solutions requises par le secteur privé.
