Office of Applied Research and Innovation (OARI)
Driver of Development and Economic Growth in the Community
The Office of Applied Research and Innovation (OARI) coordinates all of the applied research activities conducted at La Cité. Applied research became a priority at La Cité in 2008. Since then, many initiatives were put in place so that applied research would contribute to innovation at the local level through a concrete vision for development: “La Cité will be the key player in applied research at the college level in order to support the economy in Ottawa in the areas of expertise of bio-innovation, smart prototyping, social innovation, and food processing.”
