Nominate your colleagues for the McMaster Innovator Awards
McMaster is seeking nominations for two awards celebrating outstanding achievements in research, innovation and commercialization.
Presented by the McMaster Industry Liaison Office (MILO) and the Office of the Vice-President, Research, the Innovator of the Year Award and Lifetime Innovator Award recognize the success and career-spanning accomplishments of McMaster’s top innovators.
Both awards honour researchers’ contributions to creating a brighter world through knowledge discovery, research commercialization and industry partnerships, says Gay Yuyitung, Executive Director of MILO.
“McMaster’s research community is known for its expert ability to transform discoveries into startups and technologies with national and global impact. We look forward to celebrating McMaster’s best and brightest innovators at this year’s Innovation Showcase and ask members of our community to consider nominating their colleagues for recognition,” she says.
As one of the world’s top universities for global and industry impact, McMaster is home to dozens of student and faculty founders who are dedicated to solving real-world problems through their ventures.
The Innovator of the Year Award recognizes individuals who have advanced research from McMaster University, Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) or St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton (St. Joe’s) into market-ready products or services with significant societal impact.
The Lifetime Innovator Award celebrates those with a distinguished career in translating multiple innovations from McMaster University, HHS or St. Joe’s into market successes.
