University of Waterloo and Sheridan Institute win $4.9 million in research funding for innovation in Ontario’s 2D and stereoscopic 3D production industry

Waterloo’s Institute for Computer Research and Sheridan’s new Toronto-based digital media research and training centre have been awarded $4.9 million in research funding from Ontario’s Ministry of Research and Innovation. Total funding including contributions from both educational institutions and private industry partners is $14.7 million over five years.  Learn more about this exciting announcement. 

 

SERC receives a one-year grant of $50,000 awarded to Director Pat Spadafora 

This is a significant “first” for Sheridan and Canadian Polytechnic Institutions – of 59 applications received, 21 were funded, with Sheridan being the only college.  The project, entitled ‘Movement Matters: Dance as a Health Promotion Strategy’, offers an innovative opportunity to learn more about the potential for dance to encourage healthy and successful aging and to maintain functional autonomy in an older population. 

This award brings a new research group (comprising academics, researchers and service providers) together and has the potential for facilitating the formation of a larger team focused on creative aging.
