 Strategic Priorities

  • Enable synergies among ICICS members, the broader community of scholars, and industrial, commercial, and other related organizations
  • Promote entrepreneurship, technology transfer and commercialization
  • Provide enhanced research and career opportunities for ICICS members and students
  • Facilitate recruitment of high-calibre faculty and students to UBC
