Laval University, Canada’s oldest university and located in Québec, has signed an agreement with eValorix. The deal will allow Laval’s researchers to upload their research and access other universities’ research on the platform.
eValorix, a 2012 spin-out from Montréal University, is building an online platform that allows researchers at participating universities in Québec and French-speaking nations in Europe and North Africa to access each other’s research, methodology guides, reports, study cases and software.
Laval is hoping this expecting the deal to increase commercialisation and technology transfer of its research and innovations. The deal was made possible through Sovar, the technology transfer company of Laval University, its affiliated hospital Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Québec, its affiliated mental health institute Institut Universitaire en Santé Mentale de Québec, and the Québec University at Chicoutimi.
Thomas Martinuzzo, head of operations and strategies at eValorix, said: “We are proud to welcome Laval University as a partner, and we thank Sovar for facilitating the agreement. This new collaboration will allow eValorix to expand its offer of digital content and will contribute to exposure for researchers.” [Quote translated from Canadian French by Global University Venturing.]
