Community Innovation Leads
Community Innovation Leads (CILs) links industry to researcher expertise and faculty to develop solutions for their needs. The CILs work with industry partners to identify opportunities and develop Collaborative Research Agreements (CRA) outlining deliverables, costs, intellectual property ownership and other applicable terms and conditions related to the research project.
As a member of Springboard Atlantic, the NSCC CILs also helps connect industry with other university and college-based research expertise throughout the region.
