When Parkcrest Elementary wasdestroyed by fire, TRU and theUnited Way reached out with offersof space for School District No. 73's Four Directions (4D) Program. As a result of thatoutreach, on Monday, Sept. 16, students began school in the Xchange Lab at the newlyconstructed United Way building at 285 Tranquille Road. The Xchange Lab is spacededicated for TRU, which will serve as a community research hub for students, faculty andthe community to work collaboratively on research projects that explore solutions tocommunity challenges. The United Way and TRU hope that the Xchange lab will be awelcoming interim home for the students.

Harmonized research ethics

We are pleased to announce that as of Aug. 16, TRU is part of the BC Harmonized Ethicsapproval process with Research Ethics BC. This harmonization allows TRU researcherswho are collaborating with researchers at other approved universities (UBC, UBCO, UVIC,SFU and UNBC) and the provincial health authorities to submit a single ethics application.This also standardizes processes among research ethics boards, ensuring review qualityand compliance with national policies. This harmonization is helping BC become morecompetitive and innovative, specifically with regards to health research.

That same year, Donna Strickland (University ofWaterloo, Canada) and Gérard Mourou (Ecole polytechnique, CNRS – France) receivedthe Nobel Prize in Physics, the highest scientific distinction. This prize was awarded jointlyto them for their collaborative work on lasers, and more specifically on “frequency driftamplification”. As the objective of the Embassy’s mobility program is to initiate scientificpartnerships between French and Canadian teams, it seemed appropriate to refer, in itstitle, to these two prestigious researchers and their successful collaboration. The title of thisprogram refers to two physicists; however, it is open to all researchers regardless of theirfield of research
