The Newfoundland and Labrador Environmental Industry Association (NEIA)’s Newleef 2015 conference featured a research matching event as part of its agenda.
The objective of this session was to provide businesses with the opportunity to present specific environmental challenges and opportunities that they were facing, while researchers from Memorial University and the College of the North Atlantic presented on their ongoing research projects and interests.
Presenters in both cases were pre-qualified in advance with the intention to allow for ‘matches’ to be made between business and academia on specific topics. Funding agencies participated in the event to provide information on the resources that they had available to support matches that were being explored.
The event agenda can be downloaded here, with a summary of research presentations here.
