Lethbridge College and Olds College have signed an agreement to work co-operatively on applied research.
The memorandum of understanding will sometimes see the two colleges conduct joint projects but will also have them “refer companies to each other based on the best fit with infrastructure and research expertise, and share relevant data and data networks.”
Both schools are adopting the latest ag tech and both do research for private sector companies on a fee-for-service basis.
