Grant Summary
This grant supports research and development programs that focus on advancing surface transportation and manufacturing excellence, particularly in the ground transportation sector. The National Research Council of Canada collaborates with industries, academia, and government to drive innovation in clean technologies, digital manufacturing, and sustainable solutions for the transportation industry.
Grant Details
The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) offers a grant to support research and development initiatives that aim to enhance surface transportation and manufacturing processes. As a key player in the ground transportation sector, the NRC works with various stakeholders to develop and integrate clean technologies, promote climate resilience and safety, drive digital and sustainable manufacturing practices, explore circular economy solutions, and enhance defense and security systems.
Through this grant, the NRC provides opportunities for collaboration with industries seeking research expertise, state-of-the-art facilities, and technological advancements to optimize their manufacturing processes. The NRC's focus on low-emission ground transportation helps industries transition to net-zero systems, while its work on climate resilience aims to create a more efficient and safe transportation network in Canada.
The grant also emphasizes the importance of digital and sustainable manufacturing, supporting the ground transportation supply chain in adopting smart manufacturing practices to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Furthermore, the NRC's research in the circular economy and biodegradable materials contributes to developing eco-friendly packaging solutions and green manufacturing technologies.
Additionally, the NRC collaborates with the Department of National Defence and the Canadian defense and security industry to provide research and technical services for defense and security systems. This grant serves as a gateway for industries, academia, and government agencies to leverage the NRC's expertise and facilities in advancing surface transportation and manufacturing excellence.
