Science education
Building a culture of innovation is a science - the science of making people aware of the importance of discovery to the world around us. Here are some organizations that are committed to promoting science and technology. So that all of us, including our youth, may embrace these important disciplines.

Q What did the landscape of Ontario research look like
in the 1990s before OIT and the Canada Foundation for
Innovation funding arrived?
A Foundation for Innovation funding arrived? It was a
low-lying terrain with a small number of exceptional
spikes of excellence. But those spikes were very narrow
and very steep and not connected in any way.
According to Thomson ISI, The University of Toronto
ranks among the top three or four
universities in terms of research activity (both the
quality and the quantity). Only two universities in the
world (Harvard University and the University of Tokyo)
received higher publication scores than the University
of Toronto.
