Partnership - Universities by region

An avant-garde, multi-disciplinary approach

Today, innovating requires unprecedented collaboration. Given the challenges and opportunities of the knowledge economy, the dynamics of innovation have changed. Because today's technology goes beyond the boundaries of traditional disciplines, making breakthroughs requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Besides enhancing the interaction between Bell and universities, this type of approach also provides unique opportunities for cooperation between academic disciplines.

Through its university R&D program, Bell forges strategic partnerships with leading researchers. This solid collaboration benefits everyone. Besides giving Bell access to expertise and a wealth of knowledge that would otherwise be unavailable, it provides the scientific community with cutting-edge infrastructures and exposes it to concrete professional problems. In short, the resulting partnerships accelerate the research capacity of Canadian universities and make knowledge transfer in a key sector of the Canadian economy a reality.
