Information Technology is rapidly transforming how economies perform and how resources are managed. In an increasingly connected world, training a skilled workforce with a diversity of perspectives enables the best use of these technology tools. At the same time as this digital transformation, the planet is also facing unprecedented challenges in climate change and natural system sustainability, this is equally true in Nova Scotia.Access and training for technologies such as artificial intelligence, remote imaging, and environmental sensing are important to build future generations of innovators to solve these resource management challenges. Developing technology skills also has immediate economic impacts for industries constrained by a shortage of talented people.Our communities hold many forms of knowledge that reach beyond technology. Mi'kmaq Elder Albert Marshall described Etuaptmumk, or Two-Eyed Seeing, as the wisdom of combining indigenous knowledge and western science to benefit all. Using this Two-Eyed Seeing approach as a guiding framework, the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC), with business and community partners, aims to advance economic opportunity by building connections for research excellence across human, land and water sectors and natural systems. Specifically, the proposed research program will investigate how information technology, when combined with natural systems knowledge from scientific and Indigenous perspectives, can create decision-supports for economic opportunity and long-term stewardship of resources.In addition to directly focussing on specific challenges for industry and community, the research program will enable IT and Technology training for students and early-career leaders from communities across the region. NSCC seeks to utilize this program toward partnerships that strengthen equity, diversity, and inclusion through applied research that will have meaningful impacts for partners. The application of Information Technology to improve sustainable economic activities helps responsible businesses growth their products and services, while building local knowledge and capacity.

信息技术正在迅速改变经济的绩效和资源的管理方式。在一个越来越多的联系的世界中，培训具有多种观点的熟练劳动力，可以充分利用这些技术工具。在这种数字化转型的同时，地球还面临着气候变化和自然系统可持续性的前所未有的挑战，这在新斯科舍省同样是正确的。对人工智能，远程成像和环境感知等技术的培训和培训也是如此建立后代的创新者来解决这些资源管理挑战。发展技术技能还对受到才华横溢的人的短缺限制的行业产生了直接的经济影响。我们的社区拥有多种形式的知识，这些知识超出了技术。米克马克（Mi'kmaq）长老阿尔伯特·马歇尔（Albert Marshall）将Etuaptmumk或两只眼睛的看见描述为结合土著知识和西方科学以使所有人受益的智慧。 Nova Scotia社区学院（NSCC）将这种两眼的视线作为指导框架，旨在通过建立在人，土地和水域以及自然系统的卓越研究方面来促进经济机会。具体而言，拟议的研究计划将研究信息技术如何与自然系统的知识从科学和土著观点结合在一起，可以为经济机会和长期资源的长期管理而创造决策支持。除了直接关注行业的具体挑战外和社区，研究计划将为来自该地区社区的学生和早期职业领导者提供IT和技术培训。 NSCC试图通过应用研究来加强公平，多样性和包容性的合作伙伴关系，这将对合作伙伴产生有意义的影响。信息技术在改善可持续经济活动中的应用有助于负责任的企业在建立当地知识和能力的同时增长其产品和服务。
