Award Details

The annual Synergy Awards for Innovation recognize the impacts and outcomes of effective research collaborations with industry partners in two categories: university partnerships, and college partnerships.

Partnerships may be nominated by any individual or group. Self-nominations (either by a nominee, co-nominee or one of the partnering organizations) will not be accepted.

In 2022, the Synergy Awards for Innovation underwent major changes. Among the many changes, the most important are:

  • Broadening of partner eligibility to include public and not-for-profit partnering organizations in addition to private sector ones
  • Broadening of the scope of the Synergy Awards to include social and environmental benefits to Canada and Canadians.
  • The nomination process no longer requires a letter of support from the VP Research.
