The University of Toronto and chemical company BASF Canada have signed a master research agreement focused on streamlining innovation and increasing collaboration. This agreement BASF will gain access to U of T’s research and innovations, benefit from significant cost savings through government matching funds and tax incentives, and increase its visibility in Canada’s research community. U of T Acting AVP of International Partnerships Dr David Wolfe explained that partnerships with global leaders like BASF are crucial if the university wants to “truly move the needle in this field” through research. As part of this partnership, U of T and BASF have launched five projects focused on sustainability and innovation in agriculture and chemistry.
