Description
On April 1, 2016, the University of Guelph will become a member of the Southern Ontario Smart Computing Innovation Platform (SOSCIP), a research and development consortium established in April, 2012. SOSCIP’s mandate is to fuel innovation leadership in Canada within the areas of advanced manufacturing, digital media, cybersecurity, mining, agile computing, health, water, energy, and cities. SOSCIP fosters partnerships between academic and industry researchers on projects that require advanced computing and big data analytics tools and that have a strong potential for commercialization. SOSCIP helps researchers from a wide array of disciplines to get access to advanced computing resources and expertise not available anywhere else in Canada. See the SOSCIP website for more details.
