GENERAL INFORMATION
BRIDGES
Located at the Fisheries and Marine Institute, Bridges, the Marine Technology
Alliance Building and Marketing Initiative, will provide $2.6 million to
help Newfoundland and Labrador’s Centres of Excellence promote their marine
technology capabilities and help stimulate the growth of the province’s marine
technology industry.
The Centres of Excellence, in collaboration with industry, will submit
proposals to Bridges in order to promote their capabilities nationally and
internationally. Bridges will assist the Centres of Excellence in competing
and succeeding in the global marketplace by fostering the partnerships and
alliances necessary to access new markets and generate wealth in the province.
The organizations and facilities generally known as the Centres of Excellence,
that would be expected to benefit from this initiative include the Center
for Marine Simulation (CMS), Offshore Safety and Survival Center (OSSC),
Center for Sustainable Aquatic Resources (CSAR), Center for Aquaculture and
Seafood Development (CASD), Center for Earth Resources Research (CERR), Ocean
Sciences Center (OSC), Ocean Engineering Research Center (OERC), Telemedicine
and Educational Technology Resources Agency (TETRA), Center for Offshore
and Remote Medicine (MEDICOR), C-CORE, NRC - Institute for Ocean Technology
(IOT), and the College of the North Atlantic - Engineering Technology Center.
The initiative is located at the Fisheries and Marine Institute and is
managed by a seven person Board of Directors, made up of industry, academia
and government representatives and a small secretariat. This initiative is
financed by the Canada - Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Development Fund
(CNODF).
