Precarn
HAL has been asked by Precarn to provide a recommendation for a new structure to streamline the delivery of the International Science and Technology Partnerships Program (ISTPP). The ISTPP was announced by the Government of Canada in June 2005, as a program to promote international collaborative research and development activities. The objective of the five-year, $20-million program is to increase the international competitiveness and prosperity of Canada by building stronger science and technology relationships with Israel, India, China and Brazil. In the 2010 Federal Budget, an additional $8 million was allocated to the ISTPP.
