The Office of Innovation and Community Engagement (OICE) facilitates research relationships between faculty members and government departments, private companies, industrial associations and international agencies.

The OICE is the initial point of contact for faculty members and external parties wishing to develop research relationships, collaborations and contracts, and for the transfer of technology and knowledge arising from the research activities at FIH's.

The OICE fosters and supports joint research initiatives, assists faculty in research contract development, intellectual property protection and private sector sponsorship. We also establish collaborations between researchers and external partners and license technologies to industry.

FIH's is a member of Springboard Atlantic, a regional commercialization and industry liaison network.

Note: The OICE was formerly known as the Industry Liason Office .
