INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS
The Centre looks to the pulp and paper industry
for advice and counsel about the University’s programs of research
and teaching. The industry will hire many of the scientists and
engineers produced by the University so such discussions can benefit
both sides and the students as well. In addition, industry can share
its challenges and opportunities and thereby encourage research
on particular subjects.
Core Industry Members
Core industry members of the Centre provide
long-term, on-going, support and advise, and each contribute annually;
$30,000 per year for the current year. The core members in 2006-2007
are:
Bowater
Canadian Forest Products Inc.
ERCO
Worldwide
Tembec Industries
Inc.
Other Industry Partners
In addition to the core members, there are many
other industry partners who participate in research consortia as
listed below. We welcome industry interest.
One of the Centre’s objectives is to encourage industry collaboration
on postgraduate research. Our postgraduate students are very enthusiastic
about industry involvement. Collaborative research projects might
involve the company describing a problem, providing data or samples
or access to an operation or assisting with field trials or test
work. A good project is well defined, has an able student, a faculty
supervisor with applicable expertise and a willing partner from
the industry side. Research results are presented to the participating
companies prior to publication.
Industry is also involved in the Centre through the Pulp and Paper
Research Institute of Canada. A strong spirit of cooperation exists
between the Centre and the Institute, between scientists and engineers
in both organizations, PAPRICAN has a member on the Board of Advisors
(currently Dr. Ron Crotogino).
