That's a great question. How do you create a Stanford or a MIT Media Lab type of environment?
We have some of that to a certain extent already in Canada. Obviously, there's a lot of activity in Waterloo, in Communitech, and the University of Waterloo is very popular. In B.C. there's UBC and Simon Fraser, etc. In Montreal you have some of the universities there; Concordia in particular has a Technoculture, Art and Games centre that does research around games.
I hinted just before about a research consortium that exists in Canada, called Grand, G-R-A-N-D, like grand, which stands for Graphics, Animation and New Media. It is federally funded through the NCE, the Network of Centres of Excellence. It's a consortium of 25 universities across Canada. I happen to be on the board and for the next two days I'll be in Toronto for a research management committee, where we decide which researchers and universities get more or less funding.
