Celebrating 20 Years of Applied Research at RRC Polytech

October 18, 2024

Research Partnerships & Innovation (RPI) at RRC Polytech is proudly celebrating its 20th year of connecting industry and community with academia through applied research. Collaboration is at the heart of all RPI projects, so we’re excited to invite all partners – past, present and future – along with funders, supporters, students and staff to join us for a special event to mark this significant milestone.    

Everyone is welcome to join us at our Notre Dame Campus on November 26th for an RPI Open House. Visit our research facilities and meet our research professionals to learn more about the impact our applied research has on all Manitobans. Guests can also check out an academic showcase featuring information booths promoting many of the exciting programs being offered at RRC Polytech. You’re welcome to take a self-guided tour, explore and connect throughout the morning.
