• General

  • Since its establishment in 1997, as a result of a generous donation from Energenius Inc., a Canadian company dedicated to the advancement of nanotechnology research and CAN's principal sponsor, CAN has forged many external linkages with:

  • Federal and Provincial Government Institutions, such as: Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Canada Research Chairs (E. Sargent and G. Ozin), and, most recently, the Ontario Research and Development Challenge Fund (ORDCF). In partnership with Energenius Inc. and the University of Toronto in a $45 million program to expand nanotechnology research at CAN, this provincial funding agency has awarded an unprecedented $15 million grant in support of over five years of CAN's work, with particular emphasis on Nanoelectronics, Nanophotonics and Nanofabrication research.

  • National and Provincial Centres of Excellence, including: Canadian Institute for Photonic Innovations (CIPI) (H. Ruda, W. van Wijngaarden), Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS), Communications and Information Technology Ontario (CITO) . Photonics Research Ontario (PRO) and Materials and Manufacturing Ontario (MMO),

  • Academic Institutions, and 

  • Canadian Industry; small and medium-size enterprises and large corporations, in addition to its internal linkages.

• Information Exchange

  • Our major goal is to disseminate information on Nanotechnology; to advance awareness of the impact of nanotechnology, to foster new research collaborations both within Canada and abroad and to thereby promote new linkages with Academia, Government and Industry.

  • To achieve our objectives, we will:

  • Promote research results (methodologies, test data and models) to Ontario industry,

  • Initiate industrial awareness meetings with potential receptor companies.
    Invite potential industrial receptor company personnel to CAN to make them aware of our activities and the potential impact of this work on their business,

  • Seek potential partners for technology transfer.
    Identify and establish contacts with potential industry partners, who can benefit by a technology transfer, for our research and developments in nanotechnology.
