I'm writing to inform you of some recent, internal changes at Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE). I am confident that these changes will establish stronger relationships with our industry and research institution partners, as well as our stakeholders.
The streamlining will allow OCE to become stronger, more nimble and effective and better prepared to assume new opportunities and challenges, and will also facilitate the organization's emerging role in administering the Industry-Academic Collaboration Program (IACP) as part of the Ontario Network of Excellence (ONE). more
