Award Details

The Synergy Awards for Innovation honour partnerships of strong, complementary and collaborative teams who have generated new knowledge and accelerated the application of research results to create benefits for Canada and Canadians. The awards recognize outstanding teams who have combined their expertise and resources to create partnerships resulting in significant impacts. Synergy Awards for Innovation include  two categories: university partnerships, and college partnerships.

Partnerships may be nominated by any individual or group. Self-nominations (either by a nominee, co-nominee or one of the partnering organizations) will not be accepted.

In 2022, the Synergy Awards for Innovation underwent major changes. Among the many changes, the most important are:

  • Broadening of partner eligibility to include public and not-for-profit partnering organizations in addition to private sector ones
  • Broadening of the scope of the Synergy Awards to include social and environmental benefits to Canada and Canadians.
  • The nomination process no longer requires a letter of support from the VP Research.

For nomination support: Contact Meaghan Miller, Manager of Award Nomination Development meaghan.miller@ubc.ca

Note: As of May 1st, 2024 researchers nominated for this competition must comply with Government of Canada and Tri-Agency research security requirements. Please see UBC’s Research Security website for more details or to book a consultation with the Research Security team.
