Northern and Rural Innovation Cluster
The Northern and Rural Innovation Cluster (NARIC) is a coalition of four institutions dedicated to fostering collaboration between academia and industry in three key sectors: critical minerals, clean technology, and battery electric vehicles.
QUICK FACTS
- Nipissing University, Laurentian University, Lakehead University, and Trent University have collaborated to establish a Northern and Rural Innovation Cluster (NARIC).
- NARIC formalized its collaboration through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), emphasizing enhanced collaboration and resource sharing for research and innovation initiatives aimed at driving provincial economic development.
- The coalition secured funding of $294,000 from Intellectual Property Ontario (IPON) from April 2023 - March 2024.
GOALS
- NARIC aims to create an asset map. This map will encompass, but not be limited to, identifying available expertise, equipment, and facilities across the four academic institutions.
- NARIC seeks to engage local industries and support their efforts in commercializing innovations within these targeted sectors. The project supports dedicated resources and funding to Northern Ontario industries seeking intellectual property services, aligning with the Cluster's objectives to nurture innovation and growth within the region.

Nipissing student returns from Finland with new understanding of sustainability in Arctic tourism
ArticleJason Maitland’s interest in sustainability has grown throughout the years and the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the climate emergency have brought the impact of human actions into sharp focus. Currently pursuing a Master of Environmental Studies at Nipissing University, Jason recently travelled to Lapland, Finland, as part of a field course where he spent a week in Pyhä-Luosto National Park with other graduate students exploring the potential need to rethink how we communicate tourism in the era of climate emergency and in the aftermath of the COVID19 pandemic, specifically when it comes to engaging with northern, nature-based tourism destinations.
