Abstract:
Canada’s major research infrastructures (RIs) are critical enablers of the national Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) ecosystem across virtually all science sectors and disciplines and represent a massive investment of the overall STI budget. The new Major Research Facilities (MRF) policy framework is expected to address MRFs as a strategic national portfolio, offering a critical opportunity to strengthen Canada’s approach to RIs and to optimize their impacts. This interactive panel will inspire discussion on how to ensure optimal outcomes from the new MRF policy, what elements may require specific attention, and will inform key considerations for decision makers.
