The University of Windsor has signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Municipality of Chatham-Kent to bolster regional innovation and sustainable growth through education and research. Under this MOU, UWindsor and Chatham-Kent will foster collaborative research in fields such as agriculture, health, and the environment; establish experiential learning opportunities for students; and deliver the university’s continuing education programming to Chatham-Kent’s workforce. The aim of this work is to nurture a resilient, forward-thinking community with their shared focus on research, skill building, and shared knowledge. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Chatham-Kent in a partnership that will bring UWindsor’s expertise and resources to support transformative growth within the community,” said UWindsor President Robert Gordon.
