New funding from the Province of Ontario will grow intellectual property literacy within multiple institutions and ecosystems across Northern and rural areas of Ontario, including Nipissing University in North Bay. This funding, distributed by Intellectual Property Ontario (IPON), will foster the creation of a Northern and rural innovation cluster focused on critical minerals, cleantech, and battery electric technologies. Led by Laurentian, the partnership includes Lakehead, Trent, and Nipissing Universities and will provide $294,000 for the one-year pilot project.

This Friday, March 24 and Saturday, March 25, Nipissing University will celebrate and showcase the contributions of its undergraduate researchers at the 16th Annual Undergraduate Research Conference held on the University’s campus. Members of the community are invited to take part in this popular flagship event that will feature a variety of research presentations by undergraduate students, as well as a thought-provoking keynote address.
