YorkU announces partnerships to advance applied research

York University recently announced a series of new partnerships that will promote applied research and educational opportunities. YorkU, Seneca Polytechnic, and the Ontario Centre for Innovation are collaborating to boost the number of applied research opportunities available for small- and medium-sized enterprises in the Greater Toronto Area and York Region. YorkU also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre, which will provide real-world educational opportunities for the university’s nursing and health students. “We’re excited about the kinds of research projects that RVH are doing and the ones that we’re doing because we see a lot of synergy and the ability to move quicker and faster together,” said YorkU President Rhonda Lenton.
