For his outstanding record of research achievement and discovery, the Government of Canada is renewing the Canada Research Chair (CRC) appointment of Ontario Tech University researcher Dr. Markus Piro of the Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science (FESNS) for a new five-year term, retroactive to January 1, 2022.

As a prominent centre of sustainable energy research and because of its strong reputation for expertise and new knowledge creation, Ontario Tech University is designated an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Collaborating Centre, the only one in Canada.

In February, the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Ontario Tech University joined the IBET PhD Project to provide financial support and foster a supportive, equitable and inclusive research and academic environment to increase the presence of Indigenous and Black academics in engineering and technology.

Great degree programs, powerful links with industry and a tradition of job-ready graduates are making more students choose Ontario Tech University.

In impressive fashion, for the first time in the university’s history, Ontario Tech has been named one of Canada’s Research Universities of the Year for 2021 by Research Infosource (RI), the country’s premier research ranking organization and leading provider of research intelligence for business and higher education.

Bruce Power and Ontario Tech University are partnering on an internship program designed to attract women to pursue post-secondary engineering degrees and careers in the nuclear sector.

The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women is a time to remember those who have experienced gender-based violence and those who we have lost to it.

As Ontario Tech University continues to expand its role as a vital research hub and cluster of expertise anchoring the eastern flank of the Greater Toronto Area, the university is staking a reputational claim on the international stage as well.

Recognizing the university’s strong reputation as a prominent centre of innovation, in Spring 2021 the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) designated Ontario Tech as the first Collaborating Centre in Canada to support IAEA activities on advanced nuclear power technology. The Collaborating Centre, formally launched during a virtual event November 2 and 3, 2021, is part of the university’s Brilliant Energy Institute.

As the global climate crisis accelerates, Ontario Tech University, Centennial College, University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC), Durham College and Trent University have joined together to advance clean, green, sustainable solutions, such as net-zero vertical farming and technology to reverse groundwater pollution.

Ontario Tech University’s deep capacity in sustainable energy research and expertise is poised to play a leading role in helping Canada and the world respond to contemporary energy challenges related to climate change and the development of carbon-free electricity.

Ontario Power Generation will continue its decade-long collaboration with Durham College and Ontario Tech University through a new $5-million investment.

Join Ontario Tech University on Thursday, October 14 for the third annual Women for STEM Summit, to discover how women in STEM are helping their organizations and employees succeed and move forward from COVID-19.

As one of the university’s first faculty hires by founding president Dr. Gary Polonsky, Dr. George Bereznai played a pivotal role in shaping the university’s culture for innovation and collaboration, and building its reputation as a technology-focused and distinctly modern university.

Following discussions surrounding the ongoing risks posed by COVID-19, including the emergence of new variants, Ontario Tech University will now require all students, faculty, staff and all other individuals coming to any campus location to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

In recent months, Ontario Tech University has received new federal research funding to support more than 30 multidisciplinary projects that will explore solutions to pressing societal problems.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirms Ontario Tech’s designation as an official Collaborating Centre in support of IAEA activities on integrated Energy Systems with advanced nuclear power reactors including small modular reactors (SMRs) as well as initiatives such as non electric applications of nuclear energy.

Ontario Tech University students have had their say in nominating their top teachers and innovative instructors for the 2020-2021 academic year.

Small modular reactors (SMR) aim to renew the way Ontario, and Canada, produces nuclear energy in the longer term. In 2019, Ontario signed an inter-provincial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) related to SMR development, an agreement that connects provincial governments and power utilities in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan. Alberta has now joined the MOU, further solidifying Canada as a global leader in this emerging technology.

As it approaches its 20th anniversary as a vital central-Canadian hub of research excellence and innovation, Ontario Tech University has established a compelling portfolio of research leadership and expertise in clean and green energy.
