I have been selected by the Canadian Government to serve on the Expert Committee tasked with assessing a significant funding request by the "Centre de Collaboration MiQro Innovation" (C2MI). The initial funding (in 2010) of the C2Mi (from multiple sources including this CECR government program) amounted to CAN $ 218 million. The 2015 evaluation took place in Ottawa, Ontario in March 2015. The Canadian Government has since implemented all the recommendations made by our Expert Committee.
