Cambrian College has been the leading post-secondary institution in Northern Ontario since 1967. Cambrian has a vibrant community across its three campuses in Sudbury, Espanola, and Manitoulin Island. Over the past five years, Cambrian has become a global destination of choice for postsecondary education, as demonstrated by five years of consecutive enrolment growth, including a 300% increase in international students from over 30 countries. More specifically, Cambrian R&D, Cambrian College's Applied Research department, has continued to develop partnerships and deliver innovative research solutions since its inception in 2009. In that time, the College has undertaken 247 applied research projects in sectors from mining to health sciences, accounting for over $12.6 million of leveraged funding. In only the past two years, Cambrian has worked with 41 companies to complete 50 projects. Cambrian is seeking funding to support technical and business development resources in its Applied Research department in order to keep meeting the innovation needs of its partners. Moreover, Cambrian is also requesting funding to execute an annual portfolio of projects with both industry and community partners. The key focus in delivering these activities is student experiential learning opportunities and training them for the jobs of tomorrow. Cambrian R&D has been steadily growing over the past five years and the outcomes of this work has made an impact in our community and with our industry partners. The Mobilize grant presents a watershed opportunity to solidify the resources and expertise that Cambrian R&D has been building towards. Having dedicated research and business development resources will allow the department to continue to grow in other sectors, namely health sciences and community-engaged research. This funding is important for our partners as it will allow them to develop more high-tech products and services which will lead to business expansion, increased competitive advantage and revenues. This will ultimately lead to the creation of net new highly-skilled jobs. With our resources in research engineering and business development stabilized, Cambrian will be able to take applied research to new heights. This foundation will allow the College to keep meeting the innovation needs of its partners and train the next generation of highly-skilled and innovative workers.

自 1967 年以来，寒武纪学院一直是安大略省北部领先的高等教育机构。寒武纪学院在萨德伯里、埃斯帕诺拉和马尼图林岛的三个校区拥有一个充满活力的社区。过去五年来，寒武纪已成为全球高等教育的首选目的地，入学人数连续五年增长，其中来自 30 多个国家的国际学生增长了 300%。更具体地说，寒武纪学院的应用研究部门寒武纪研发部自 2009 年成立以来，一直在不断发展合作伙伴关系并提供创新的研究解决方案。当时，该学院已在从采矿到健康科学等领域开展了 247 个应用研究项目，占超过1260万美元的杠杆融资。仅过去两年，寒武纪就与41家企业合作，完成了50个项目。寒武纪正在寻求资金来支持其应用研究部门的技术和业务开发资源，以不断满足合作伙伴的创新需求。 此外，寒武纪还请求资金与行业和社区合作伙伴一起执行年度项目组合。 开展这些活动的重点是为学生提供体验式学习机会并培训他们适应未来的工作。寒武纪研发在过去五年中一直稳步增长，这项工作的成果对我们的社区和行业合作伙伴产生了影响。 Mobilize 赠款提供了一个分水岭般的机会，可以巩固 Cambrian R&D 一直在努力建设的资源和专业知识。拥有专门的研究和业务开发资源将使该部门能够在其他领域继续发展，即健康科学和社区参与的研究。这笔资金对我们的合作伙伴非常重要，因为这将使他们能够开发更多高科技产品和服务，从而实现业务扩张、提高竞争优势和收入。这最终将创造净新的高技能工作岗位。随着研究工程和业务发展资源的稳定，寒武纪将能够将应用研究推向新的高度。该基金会将使学院能够不断满足其合作伙伴的创新需求，并培养下一代高技能和创新工人。
