Prime minister of Canada, Mark Carney, and Taoiseach Micheál Martin, TD recognised the partnership in a joint statement during the former’s visit to Ireland.
Ireland’s National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) and the Canadian Alliance for Skills and Training in Life Sciences (CASTL) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that builds on their existing partnership and “reinforces their shared commitment to advancing biomanufacturing workforce development in Canada and internationally”.
The partnership was recognised in the Joint Statement on Advancing the Canada-Ireland Partnership issued by the prime minister of Canada, Mark Carney, and Taoiseach Micheál Martin, TD over the weekend during the former’s bilateral visit to Ireland.
In a joint statement, the two leaders committed to “support biomanufacturing workforce development and skills by building on and extending the existing partnership between CASTL and NIBRT, enabling enhanced joint programming, shared expertise through a global network of NIBRT-affiliated training centres, and alignment of world-class biomanufacturing training initiatives”.
