Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) is a not-for-profit society created by the University of Victoria to build and sustain global leadership in ocean science and technology through the NEPTUNE Canada and VENUS cabled ocean observatories.
ONC is guided by a board of directors made up of respected leaders from industry, universities, and government. Board members bring a tremendous breadth of knowledge and experience to their role, which is to develop our two observatories as national facilities, and promote and support the applications of the research for the benefit of Canadians.
ONC has developed a Centre for Enterprise and Engagement (ONCCEE) to position Canada as an international leader in the science and technology of cabled ocean observation systems and to maximize the associated economic and social benefits. Through innovative commercialization and outreach programs ONCCEE will build on strong private sector partnerships, focusing its commercialization and engagement activities in four areas: sensors and instruments; ocean system technologies; oceans information technology; as well as, public outreach and education. Beyond its economic benefits, the centre also has the capacity to create significant broad societal benefits by ensuring the public is more informed on marine related issues, yielding superior public policies along with increasing awareness of ocean-related science and technology, including the career and business opportunities available in this sector.
