Arrived at @research_money conf #RM_Ott19 just as the contribution of @MitacsCanada and presence of #CSPF is mentioned... Good timing!

I'm here w/ my @NSERC_CRSNG colleagues, and also happy to see @DSP_SPE included as a partner + that @MarieFranquin is on a panel this morning 🙌

Keynote speaker #RM_Ott19 is David Watters discussing the impact of #Budget2019 on Canadian research and Canada as a whole. Excellent summary and great figures ⬇️

Supporting research excellence was a relatively small investment compared to big ticket items in #Budget2019. GERD/GDP is still very low compared to OECD colleagues

A few more great slides from D Watters on the flow of Canada's innovation system, on the impact of #Budget2019 on federal granting council budgets (gain for scholarships but net loss considering inflation), and on the support for third party orgs #RM_Ott19

D Watters on the career paths of research personnel - only 32% in Higher Ed. 61% in industry, 7% in public service and nonprofits #RM_Ott19

D Watters on tech leadership: Canada isn't on the leaders list, we are a relatively small player #RM_Ott19

A pitch from D Watters to develop and R&D strategy at the government level, or at the research / development community level #RM_Ott19
