Invention to Innovation (i2I)

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE CANADIAN RESEARCH. CANADIAN RESEARCHERS NEED TO MOVE FROM INVENTION TO INNOVATION

To achieve this vision, the transformational Invention to Innovation (i2I) programs have been designed based on world-class research and experience specific to science-based translation and linked to national networks of academic and industrial mentors, helping researchers unleash their entrepreneurial mindset along three complementary paths: entrepreneurial researchers, innovators in industry and venture entrepreneurs.

i2I Skills Training:  designed to help participants build a compelling plan to take their own research to impact while building a national network of peer-learning and expert mentoring. 

Graduate Certificate in Science and Technology Commercialization:  extends and deepens learning and commercialization planning past the i2I Skills Training, which counts toward the first four courses of the grad certificate. 

Note:  These programs are not offered by the Chang Institute, but through the i2I Research & Innovation Institute.  Chang Institute works closely with its partners to deliver wrap-around supports to students enrolled in these programs.
