New Emerging Technologies and Innovation Management Laboratory
Professor Jonathan Linton was awarded a $59,000 grant from the CFI-ORF Leader’s Opportunity Fund (Canadian Foundation for Innovation – Ontario Research Fund) for his new Emerging Technologies and Innovation Management (ETIM) Laboratory.
The ability to manage emerging technologies is critical to the future health of companies, organizations and the entire Canadian economy. At the University of Ottawa’s new Emerging Technologies and Innovation Management (ETIM) Laboratory, researchers will use cutting-edge modeling and statistical software in a collaborative multidisciplinary environment to deal with the complex problem of determining how innovations can be used most effectively. This research will lead to the development of new tools to support decision making and policy planning, and will identify the best techniques that businesses and organizations could use to make the most of innovations as they are developed.

On August 13, 2007, Professor David Doloreux was awarded $100,000 from the Early Researcher Awards Program under the Ministry of Research and Innovation of Ontario.
This award will fund Dr. Doloreux’s research projects on the nature and extent of innovative activities and their contribution to competitiveness by firms. He will also explore the innovation support practices of knowledge generation and diffusion organizations in four key sectors and regions in Ontario’s economy: agriculture (Eastern Ontario), energy technologies (Sault Ste. Marie), advanced manufacturing technologies (Hamilton), and environmental technologies (Sudbury).
