Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee is made up of representatives from faculties and support services who, on a voluntary basis, offer to advise us on the programming of activities and the development of partnerships.

Committee mandate

The Advisory Committee's mandate is to advise the INNOVA team on research, training, and experimentation activities, based on the needs expressed by faculties and support services. The Committee also ensures that INNOVA's activities are consistent with, and complementary to, other similar initiatives in place or under development at the University of Ottawa, ensuring INNOVA positions itself as an incubation hub for techno-pedagogical innovation.
