How to partner with UNB

The Research and Innovation Partnerships (R&IP) group in ORS provides support for the development and transfer of technology and knowledge. R&IP facilitates research partnerships and provides access to those who wish to explore UNB's knowledge base and research capabilities. R&IP is guided by the idea that UNB has a role with industry and government to support a stronger, healthier and more innovative New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada.
