Innovation Challenge Award
Quick Facts
The Innovation Challenge Awards honour graduate students in the natural sciences or engineering who have demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit by identifying ways in which their research thesis results can be developed into products and processes to benefit Canadians.
The awards are aimed at fostering, in master's or PhD students who are in their final year or have recently graduated, an appreciation of real-world applications of their research. The students review their thesis work and submit an essay identifying potential products or services that could result from applying their research.
