National Defence

The Department of National Defence solicited proposals to support the creation of small Innovation Networks, called micro-nets, to stimulate collaboration and innovation. The expected results are the development of a critical mass of researchers, highly qualified personnel, and expertise within the Canadian innovation community dedicated to advance research applicable to the safety and security of Canada.
