Canadian Aero Innovation

System - funding

• Consortium for Research and Innovation in

Aerospace in Québec – CRIAQ

• Green Aviation Research and Development

Network-GARDN

• National Science and Engineering Research

Council- NSERC

• Consortium for Aerospace Research and

Innovation in Canada – CARIC

• Smart Affordable Green Aerospace - SAGE

• Technology Demonstration Program – TDP

• National Research Council Canada

Leading Universities and

colleges in Aero

• UTIAS

• Carleton U

• Concordia U

• McGill U

• Ryerson

• UBC

• ETS

• ETA

• Red River

UTIAS - example

• The following is a list of international organizations with which

UTIAS faculty have collaborated over the past five years:

• NASA, EADS/Airbus, DLR, Sandia, Georgia Tech, Beijing Instutute of

Technology, GE Global Research, Imperial College, University of Southampton,

ETH Zurich, Princeton, Oxford, Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, MIT, University

of Klagenfurt, Carnegie Mellon, University of Wyoming, University of Flinders,

University of Michigan, University of Warwick, Queensland University of

Technology, University of Vienna, Michigan State, Graz University of Technology,

Norwegian Space Center, Indian Space Research Organization, Space Research

Center - Polish Academy of Sciences, SPACE-SI, FAA (US), Keck Institute for

Space Studies, California Institute of Technology, Catalonia Polytechnic

University, CNRS Orleans, University of Adelaide, Leibniz University Hannover,

U. of Illinois Urbana Champaign, Air Force Research Lab/Air Force Office of

Scientific Research.

• This has been achieved not by organizations set up to facilitate such

collaboration, but through the initiative of individual researchers,

organically. 9

CRIAQ International

Collaborations • CRIAQ requires the collaboration of at least two enterprises, one

from Quebec and the other, foreign. On both sides, the enterprises

call upon universities and research centers to carry out projects with

them. Partners from Quebec sign the CRIAQ pre-competitive

research project agreement,

• Projects are supported by the NSERC and Quebec.

• Since 2002, CRIAQ has been participating in international project

collaborations with France, India, China, Bavaria, Italy, Sweden and

others.

• Research themes:

Vibro-Acoustics and Noise Control; Avionics and Control; Composites;

Environment, Safety, Icing; Manufacturing; Modeling, Simulation, Optimization,

System Integration

10

CARIC

• CARIC Contribution Agreement states

specifically that international collaboration is an

objective of CARIC:

Objectives. In using the Amount, CARIC shall foster

R&TD collaboration across Canada between industry,

academia and research institutions to:

– strengthen the competitiveness of Canada’s aerospace

industry;

– accelerate the pace of technology development;

– benefit from International Collaboration;

– ……….

• Three international projects have been approved

under the joint call (CANNAPE) program.

NRC Aerospace

Canada's premier research and

technology organization, a vital

partner for innovation,

opening doors to national and

international industry clients and

partners with leading-edge

expertise, infrastructure, networks

and know-how, helping bridge the gap

between early stage R&TD and

technology deployment.

NRC Aero Facilities ≈ $500M

• NRC role vs. DND and DRDC

• TTCP – AER Group and Panels (DRDC and NRC)

• NATO – STO (Canadian Universities and Industry also involved)

Participation in Aero

Conferences and Symposia

Mostly information exchanges:

• Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute

represents Canada in ICAS (NRC rep ICAS

Board)

• Canada – member of ICAF (NRC – National

Delegate)

• Canadian researchers active in:

SAE

ISABE, IGTI,

AIAA, ASTM, ASME, etc.

SAMPE, ICCM etc.

NRC Aerospace

Reducing aviation

icing risks and mitigating

threats with advanced

technologies, processes and

facilities.

"NRC is committed to enhancing aviation

safety while enabling our industry partners

to meet increasingly strict safety guidelines

with timely and cost-effective solutions"

John R. McDougall

NRC President

Closing remarks

• Innovation system supports industry which is

global rather than national or continental

• Challenges of Aeronautics are global

• Sharing of human, capital and financial

resources

• Multiple avenues of international collaborations

exist

• Collaboration tools are evolving

• Together we are building Future of Aeronautics! 19
