Research

At Georgian College, we are committed to entrepreneurship and innovation. As part of this commitment, we support a variety of research efforts college-wide.

Research and innovation (R&I)

Applied research is the method for the application of scientific and/or technical knowledge, improvements or discoveries (basic research) that can be used to find solutions to solve practical problems to real world situations. Project topics are from various business sectors where a solution can be quantified and implemented and have a direct impact on the sustainability of a company. What do we mean by applied research at Georgian?

  • Applied research project collaboration provides access to Georgian’s resources including various funding opportunities.
  • Applied research activities are one way Georgian provides its students with experiences and opportunities to be in the forefront of innovation.
