E61: Powered by CARIE – Responding to real-world industry problems

“The key thing that we keep emphasizing, you'll hear us say it over and over again, is we have to be where industry is, and where industry wants to be next.” ~ Andrew Dunlop, Associate Vice President of Research at Lethbridge Polytechnic

Dave McMurray, Applied Research Manager at Lethbridge Polytechnic, and Andrew Dunlop, Associate Vice President of Research at Lethbridge Polytechnic discuss the inner workings of the Centre for Applied Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (CARIE). 

Dave and Andrew share how applied research differs from university research, including IP property, moving at the speed of business, and direct industry connections.
