Collège LaSalle, Collège Montmorency, the Institut national de la recherche scientifique, the Université du Québec à Montréal, and the City of Laval have joined forces to create the Consortium de collaboration pour le savoir et l’enseignement. The new consortium aims to expand postsecondary offerings in Laval to train the next generation, retain talent, generate high-impact projects, and foster networking. The first phase of this collaboration will involve the creation of an innovation centre that will house research laboratories and business accelerators. It will also provide collaboration spaces for industry, academia, and the community. The five partners hope to begin offering postsecondary programming and initiatives within the next year.
