The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today highlighted an over $4.6 billion package of measures from Budget 2024 to strengthen Canadian research and innovation.

Key Points: 
  • The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today highlighted an over $4.6 billion package of measures from Budget 2024 to strengthen Canadian research and innovation.
  • Providing $2.6 billion in core research grant funding, scholarships, and fellowships to support our researchers and their ground-breaking discoveries:
    This includes $1.8 billion in core research grant funding for a 30 per cent increase over five years of Canada's core research grant programs that support faculty-led research projects.
  • To provide better co-ordination across the federally funded research ecosystem, we will bring together our three research funding organizations within a single new capstone research funding organization.
  • That's why Budget 2024 supports Canadian researchers at the forefront of discovery and innovation as they continue to position Canada as a global leader in science research.

WASHINGTON, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Internet2, in a joint effort with CANARIE, the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), and GÉANT, announced today a major expansion of 400 gigabits per second (Gbps) transoceanic circuit capacity dedicated to transferring research and education (R&E) data. As part of the Advanced North Atlantic (ANA) collaboration, this marks a significant achievement in high-speed connectivity between North America and Europe, supporting data-intensive science globally.

Key Points: 
  • The joint effort adds three 400 Gbps spectrum circuits between exchange points in the U.S., U.K., and France.
  • The collaboration among CANARIE, ESnet, GÉANT, and Internet2 to leverage the new subsea infrastructure started in 2020, following an R&E community-driven proposal to modernize and augment intercontinental connectivity to support research.
  • With the addition of the new circuits, the combined capacity of the ANA collaboration's trans-Atlantic network is now 2.4 Tbps.
  • "Being among the first to deliver spectrum-based 400 Gbps transoceanic connections dedicated to research and education is a truly pioneering achievement," said James Deaton, vice president of Network Services at Internet2.

With a proliferation of instruments – like telescopes, sensors, and detectors – that gather more data with greater precision, sensitivity and speed, supercomputers must process petabytes of raw data.

Key Points: 
  • With a proliferation of instruments – like telescopes, sensors, and detectors – that gather more data with greater precision, sensitivity and speed, supercomputers must process petabytes of raw data.
  • Additionally, because research collaboration happens across the globe, that data must be transferred rapidly, reliably, and securely, while containing costs.
  • This equates to transmitting about 30 terabytes of data in just 10 minutes, equivalent to sharing 5,000 two-hour Netflix movies in 1080p HD.
  • Mark Wolff, CTO at CANARIE, said: “We are pleased to work with Nokia as we continually improve the capabilities of Canada’s National Research and Education Network.
