A Message from the CEO & Scientific Director on IC-IMPACTS’ response to COVID-19
This is a difficult time for the global community; particularly for international students, Indigenous communities, and our colleagues engaged in research and business across international borders. As a leader in Canada-India research and technology collaborations, IC-IMPACTS recognizes our role in bringing together the brightest minds of Canada and India to combat the COVID-19 crisis.
I wanted to share with you what IC-IMPACTS is doing to play our part – starting with consulting 200 researchers across Canada and India from over 100 top research universities, inviting them to co-create innovative solutions.
IC-IMPACTS is leveraging the expertise of Canadian and Indian researchers, industrial partners, and affected communities to address this unprecedented crisis. Our actions are informed by the latest scientific research and the most reliable data. We are driven by our deep connections in Canada and India, through universities and leading research agencies.
Measures that we have taken so far include the following:
IC-IMPACTS’ primary concern has always been the health and safety of our communities. Please feel free to share your suggestions for related Canada-India collaborative projects, by writing to us at [email protected].
Wishing you excellent health during the pandemic.
Sincerely,
Nemkumar (Nemy) Banthia
