Interact

The Interact initiative is designed to initiate new industry-academic interactions that create collaborative research partnerships between industry and Ontario universities, colleges or research hospitals. Interact projects may be initiated quickly, should be completed within six months and involve OCE investments up to $13,500.

Eligibility

Successful Interact proposals will have the following elements:

  • Address specific industry challenges.
  • Demonstrated potential to develop a lasting relationship between the company, the academic institution and OCE.
