Enthusiastic, growing response to ORION Awards
Judges faced a challenge this week, reviewing all the high-quality submissions for the 2007 ORION Awards.
The enthusiastic response from Ontario's research and education community was impressive, with 26 nominations, seeking recognition for inspiring leaders and projects that are at the cutting edge of research and innovation.
Submissions ranged from global-scale scientific collaboration, to home-grown innovations in teaching and learning, to submissions highlighting individual leadership and lifetime achievements in innovation and information technology.
The panel of judges represent a broad spectrum of Ontario's research and education community, from the fields of teaching, research, information technology, libraries, and advanced networking.
First introduced in 2005 with the recognition of Ontario's and Canada's Internet pioneers, the program recognizes achievement in Learning, Discovery and Leadership. The Awards recognize and celebrate individuals and groups that have successfully championed and demonstrated the use of advanced networks and collaborative technologies in scientific research, teaching and learning.
The Awards will be announced and presented at a reception on Monday, June 4th during the Ontario Research and Education Summit at the MaRS Discovery District in Toronto. Learn more at www.orion.on.ca/2007orionawards.
