This third instalment in our series on applied research is a 20 page, full-colour booklet highlighting the applied research and industry partnerships happening at Canadian colleges, institutes, CEGEPs & polytechnics. With COVID-19 causing havoc with communities and the economy, this work provides a glimmer of hope for economic recovery post-pandemic.
