Strategic Priority 2
Establish strong, sustainable collaborations with industry, community, international and alumni partners that create unique learning experiences for our faculty and students and reciprocal benefits for our partners. Supporting Action Engage and support industry and community providers of experiential learning through clearly defined roles and responsibilities, a seamless Humber experience, and mutually beneficial communication and interaction.
ORI’s Commitment
• Build relationships with industry and community stakeholders to strengthen our research and innovation efforts and enhance our profile.
Supporting Action
Promote excellence in applied research by fostering balances and diverse faculty teams with expertise in industry, teaching, applied research and partnerships.
ORI’s Commitment
• Improve Humber’s innovation culture through professional development workshops and coaching sessions, online (synchronous and asynchronous) and in-person.
Having ORI’s support meant that we could take on a last-minute grant application that would have otherwise been impossible to complete. Once we won the grant, we had a team ready to guide us through the budgetary and policy procedures so that we could focus on our research. It takes a lot to produce good research; after four projects together, I know that I have always got a solid team to work with, and I can take on a new opportunity with confidence.
Daniel Bear, PhD., Professor, Faculty of Social & Community Services.
