We're getting ready for R3 Gala 2012

This year, NBIF and Cox & Palmer will host the third bi-annual R3 Gala, honouring three of New Brunswick's top applied researchers, presenting each with the R3 Award for Excellence in Applied Research. Throughout the dinner, to be held on March 21, 2012 at the Fredericton Convention Centre, a short documentary film will be shown about each researcher and their contribution to industry and society.

Plus a keynote presentation by Hal Gregersen, Professor of Leadership at INSEAD, based on his book "The Innovator's DNA - Mastering the five skills of disruptive innovators." Quickly climbing the New York Times best-seller list, the book, co-authored by Harvard professor Clay Christensen and Wharton's Jeff Dyer includes tools anyone can use to stimulate innovative thinking in themselves and others.

NEW! At this year's Gala, we'll also announce the recipients of our first R3 Innovation Challenge award. Two companies will recieve $50,000 worth of R&D services at a New Brunswick post-secondary institution or research organization.

This event sells out every year, so get your tickets now.
