May 1, 2022

Congratulations to Dr. Maryam Davoudpour and Dr. Dennis Kappen who have, together with researchers and industry partners, received $2M Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) ARTP2 funding for the FIBER initiative.

Led by Centennial College’s Technology Access Centre, this initiative includes partner institutions Sheridan College, Humber College and the KITE Institute at the University Health Network (UHN).

This ARTP2 funding will allow researchers to support e-textiles companies in developing e-textile based technologies and products for the healthcare industry. This initiative is aligned with Fabric-Based Research (FIBRE), the first of its kind academic research platform in the field of textile-based technologies led by UHN’s KITE (Knowledge. Innovation. Talent. Everywhere.)

Congratulations!
