A Practical Introduction to NSERC's Idea to Innovation (I2I) Program

​As part of Memorial University's Research Week, join Memorial's Research and Innovation Office (RIO) and NSERC's Idea to Innovation (I2I) team to learn how researchers can advance promising discoveries toward real-world impact.

​This webinar will provide an overview of the I2I program, funding options, eligibility requirements, and tips for developing a competitive application. Attendees will also hear from Dr. Yvan Rose, founder of Speech Metrics, who will discuss how NSERC I2I funding supported his journey from market validation through Phase I development, offering valuable insights for researchers considering the commercialization of their own innovations.

​Whether you're exploring the commercial potential of your research or considering an I2I application, this session will provide practical guidance and an opportunity to ask questions directly to NSERC program specialists and an experienced recipient.

​Researchers from all disciplines are welcome (note that I2I only supports projects in Natural Sciences and Engineering).
