This is the inaugural episode of the Durham College Research Remix. In this episode, the host, Dr. Michael Williams-Bell, sits down with one of Durham College's leading researchers, Lorraine Closs, to discuss her work social innovation research funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council's College and Community Social Innovation Fund (SSHRC-CCSIF).
Applied research at DC, facilitated by Office of Research Services, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (ORSIE), solves industry and social challenges through innovation and collaboration, by engaging industry, faculty, students, and the community-at-large in research projects to address the needs of a technology-driven knowledge economy. ORSIE is the single point of contact for industry, government, and community groups interested in collaborative applied research that has an impact. The talent, facilities, and capabilities of those within the campus and community become synergetic when encouraged and supported, transforming and advancing economic prosperity in the Durham Region.
