NSERC / UNENE Research

Through UNENE, industry funds from our Sponsors are matched by NSERC for the creation of Industrial Research Chairs (IRC) and Collaborative Research and Development (CRD) in support of research and development. The IRCs support professorship salaries and their research grants while the CRDs are dedicated research grants.

The UNENE related research activities are itemized below complement existing university and industry programs. Find out more about what other nuclear programs are offered in Canada, about existing document repositories, and more at the Nuclear Education Initiatives and Resources and the Links pages.
