THE AEROSPACE MEETING ON SUPER CLUSTERS
University of British Columbia, Vancouver Campus




WHAT IS THE CARIC NATIONAL RESEARCH FORUM?
The CARIC National Research Forum is the aerospace meeting on super clusters.
The Forum aims to generate innovative ideas and new collaborations among the various players in the Canadian aerospace industry.
While the government is planning significant investments to encourage transdisciplinary innovation, participants in the 2017 Forum will have the unique opportunity to contribute to the necessary positioning of the aerospace sector on this issue.
In addition, they will share their knowledge on current technologies and industry needs. The Forum allows the mobilization of the different communities and the birth of collaborations.
