Research Funding
The Atlantic Innovation Fund was launched in 2001 to provide an additional $300 million for investment in the region's infrastructure.

The higher education sector in Nova Scotia represents 60% of the R&D conducted in the province, a contribution which is twice the national average.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
