CENTRES OF INNOVATION

WHAT DOES INNOVATION MEAN TO YOU?

Innovation in my view is the art or process of coming up with creative and elegant ideas, and converting existing inventions into practical solutions that can be used in everyday life.

Neal Mohammed Director, Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation (Barrett CTI)

WE ASKED TYLER CHARLEBOIS AND THE COI DIRECTORS WHAT INNOVATION MEANS TO THEM

Innovative thinking and practices extend beyond research activity alone, it is in our classrooms, our partnership and work integrated learning experiences and our relationships with our community. It’s a philosophy that is fundamental to the FSCS and Humber College. June MacDonald-Jenkins Director, Centre for Social Innovation (CSI), Senior Dean, Faculty of Social and Community Services.

Innovation is taking invention all the way to delivering positive change. Innovation is reinventing something that already exists, reimagining it and its use to create value. Tyler Charlebois Director, Centres of Innovation (COI) Network and Partnership Development
