WORKSHOP 1: Collaboration - The Next Wave in Research
Collaborations among researchers to share knowledge and resources represent a key trend in research. Having access to local and global R&E resources through next-generation networks is introducing fundamental changes in the way research is designed and undertaken here in Canada and throughout the world. In this session, participants explored where they believe research is heading, and how greater capacity for collaboration and exchanges are re-shaping the research landscape.

WORKSHOP 5: Birds of a Feather Session: Leveraging the Power of ORION
Connecting virtually every university, college, teaching hospital, public sector research lab, and many others together for the first time can bring some revolutionary changes in the way education and learning services are designed and deployed. ORION and R&E networks allow for new partnerships that were just not possible, or practical, only a year ago. This Birds of a Feature session will give participants an opportunity to hear how some institutions are already making full use of this new connectivity and how others are planning to roll-out new and innovative partnerships with other connected institutions.
