Educational vision will bring success
Abstract:
A perfect example is the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT) at the University of Alberta: a partnership between the university, the National Research Council and the Government of Alberta. Research underway at NINT promises to transform health care, energy, environment and agriculture.
The University of Alberta is committed to transformative initiatives: cultivating and attracting world-class talent; supporting breakthrough research that will benefit the public and result in new jobs; and conducting research that contributes to sustainable energy and the environment.
