Norbert Haunerland, Associate Vice-President Research

RE Centre and Institute Report

2009/2010

DATE September 28, 2010

As specified under SFU Policy R 40.01 "Research Centres and Institutes," I am pleased

to submit to the Senate Committee for University Priorities the sixteenth annual report

on the activities of the R.esearch Centres/Institutes. A copy of the Policy is also attached

for your reference.

The report covers primarily the fiscal year 2009/2010.

consists of two parts: a

description of each Centre covered under the Policy, and a table showing the status of

each Centre in several important areas. In addition, information on Research

Centres/Institutes that were either established or dissolved since the end of FY

2009/2010 is included.

Centres are divided into two categories, according to the Policy:

• Research Centres are under the direct authority of the Faculty Deans. The

Deans repon to the Vice President Research on the Centres under their

authority. The enclosed status report indicates the degree to which the reports

of the Centres are found by the Dean to be adequate.

• Research Institutes either have a university-wide mandate or comprise lTlulti-

university consortia in which SFU parlicipates. The Vice-President, Research is

responsible for these Institutes. These are also included in the status report.

As requested by the Senate Committee on University Priorities (SCUP) on April 19,

2003, included in the Status Report is information on the resources given to the

Centres/Institutes by the University.

The annual reports were prepared online for the third time, if you wish to see the online

SIMON I:RASER UNIVI:USITY

THINKING OF THE WORLD

version they can be viewed in the office of the Vice-President, Research.

Motion:

That SCUP approves the Research Centres and Institutes Report and forwards the

report to

Senate and the Board of Governors for information.

The Centre for

Global Workforce Strategy will carry out multidisciplinary research

on issues surround ing effective work force management strategies. It will initially

consolidate the activities of three ongoing multinational research projects. The

first project, The

Cultural Intelligence Project, involves participants from 12

countries in defining, developing, and validating an instrument to measure

Cultural Intelligence - the measure of an individual's ability to interact effectively

with the cultural aspects of

an environment. It is a key competency requirement

for the management

of cultural diversity. The second project is Canadian

participation

in Cranet (the Cranfield Network on Comparative Human Resource

Management). Established

in 1989, Cranet is an expanding group of top

business schools and academic institutions collaborating to provide unique and

rigorous data on human resource management practices across the world.

Researchers carry out a regular international survey

of organizational policies

and practices and provide benchmarks for a systematic comparative analysis of

trends

in HRM policies and practices. Cranet is a unique resource for

researchers, management practitioners,

and policy makers, seeking an up-to-

date overview of

HR management's ever-changing global face. The third project

involves the study of bicultural individuals

in organizations. Given the changing

patterns

in the world's workforce it is increasingly possible that more employees

and managers will

be bicultural. Bicultural individuals have a dual pattern of

identification with different cultures. The ability

of biculturals to operate within

more than one culture

as a native raises a number of interesting and important

questions for global workforce management.

As the Centre develops additional

themes within the overall mandate of the

Centre will be added. Other Centre

activities will include:

• Practitioner forums, media outreach, and academic conferences

• Publication in traditional scholarly venues

• Preparation and distribution of educational material for use by

universities and professional associations

• Outreach and networking activities, such as the hosting

conferences

or public forums on topical subjects, and workshops to

promote the activities and findings of the Centre to both academic

and business audiences

• Regular offerings of professional development programs

The centre, which was approved by the Board of Governors

on January 25,

2007, will focus on two fundamental issues with respect to financial investing.

First is to address the growing need to research

and assess global financial

markets. Affiliated with the school's Global Asset and Wealth Management MBA

Program, this centre's mandate is to develop a better understanding of the ever-

increasing array of

global investment instruments and their suitability as client

investment opportunities. The centre will complement the school's markets

research and trading room, where faculty and stUdents

can use the latest

technologies

to access global stock exchanges and on-line financial databases to

explore and evaluate the details of particular investment strategies. Increasingly

we see the creation of new asset classes, such as hedge funds and boutique

investments. Evaluating these new instruments, posing new instruments,

and

maximizing investment alternatives will be central activities of this new centre.

Secondly, the centre will develop research expertise with respect to the

development of investment policies to better guide advice that

is given to

investors. More and more investors have invested

in a broad array of investment

opportunities, many of which are

truly global. Such investors often must deal with

highly

specialized issues such as complex taxation consideration, large accrued

capital gains and multi-generational concerns, situations in which simple

investment structures are clearly not sufficient. What is needed are investment

policies that more appropriately reflect such individualistic situations, rather than

polices reflected in current investment

planning, focusing on an average,

stereotypic investor wherein decisions come down to selecting a debt/equity mix

and

little else. The centre will marshal the academic resources for undertaking

such advanced research and

analytical capabilities. These academic resources

would include researchers affiliated with the centre, visiting research fellows, and

affiliated PhD stream, as well as inter-institutional research linkages.

on aesthetics of mathematical experience and on uses

of computer technology that promotes learning and teaching. We also have a

special interest

in advancing knowledge about the learning of mathematics in

general, and situating this knowledge within the lived experiences of learners.

We aim

to do this by reaching out and drawing on international expertise in a

variety of research initiatives. Through community outreach in real world settings,

we strive

to promote effective change that meets the needs of students,

teachers, parents, and the community at large. We believe

in integration of

research

and practice; as such our outreach programs provide a platform for

conducting classroom research

and for implementing research results in practice.

An important part of this process .is ongoing collaboration among researchers

and teachers

and school districts, as well as the creation of partnerships with the

families, administrators,

and policy makers who will potentially benefit from our

research.

environmental objectives in community development. Sustainable community

development is based on a consideration of the relationship between economic

factors

and other community elements such as housing, education, the natural

environment, health,

accessibility and the arts. SCD has emerged as a

compelling alternative to conventional approaches to development, a

participatory, holistic and

inclusive process that leads to positive, concrete

changes

in communities by creating employment reducing poverty, restoring the

health of the natural environment, stabilizing local economies, and increasing

community control. The

SFU Centre for Sustainable Community Development

(CSCD), formerly the Community Economic Development Centre, was founded

Judith Marcuse Projects and Simon Fraser University (with Continuing Studies

and the Faculty of Education) have partnered to establish the International

Centre of Art for Social Change (ICASC). The Centre is a global hub designed to

support the growing

field of art for social change. Its programs include courses,

The

International Centre for Cybercrime Research is a joint venture of Simon

Fraser University, the province of BC, and the International Society for the

Policing of Cyberspace

(POLCYB), a BC-based non-profit organization

established to prevent and combat crimes on the Internet. The ICRC is a focal

point for

collaboration among cybercrime researchers from universities,

government agencies,

NGOs, and private sector organizations. The Centre

brings together

SFU faculty researchers, researchers from other Canadian and

international universities, relevant government agencies, and private sector

organizations to address issues related to countering criminal activity within

cyberspace; projects are concerned with economic crime, pornography,

child

exploitation, and terrorism, among other issues. The Centre also conducts

research into

Internet economic crimes such as warez groups, social networking-

related crimes and analysis

of ongoing trends. One of the initial projects planned

by the Centre

is to develop virus scanner-like tools to detect child exploitation

images. Cybercrime

is a huge and mostly unreported problem, with child

pornography and identity theft as the most serious issues. Even when reported,

there are

significant

law enforcement and prosecutorial problems principally

because of the global nature

of the phenomenon. For example, a fraud aimed at

Canadian seniors can be triggered by individuals in another country

on behalf of

individuals

in a third country and be passed through a server in a fourth country.

The NanoCommunity Canada Research Network is a growing community of

nanotechnology researchers (chemists, physicists, mathematicians and

engineers), government organizations, and industry professionals committed to

sharing knowledge and working collaboratively to advance research

in a breadth

of topics in nanotechnology. NanoCommunity Canada is using the momentum

behind social networking

platforms to create a virtual community, where

information

can be exchanged and accessed anywhere and anytime. Members

will be

able to post their nanotechnology related questions to a wide audience of

experts and peers

in the field. The discussion from the community will give the

answers context and offer a

fuller understanding of the issues at hand. The

content of the site will be amassed through the dialogue and exchange of ideas

between members. The membership and expertise

will reach out to the fringes of

the nanotech community, thus allowing members to tap into a source of

information outside

of their established network. Features of this network will

include a rating system, where members can build

credibility in the network

through the feedback

of their peers. The network will benefit from active users,

but also consist of a standing panel of experts. The referral system

is built into

the network and allows for existing members to refer questions and topics

outside of the community

to their own network of experts. Thus, this community

has potential for growth and

will naturally become a leading source for

nanotechnology researchers.

Once this virtual community is in place and is noted

for providing value to the community, it

is anticipated that the network will grow

and stimulate more

and more collaboration among academic, government and

industry members. NanoCommunity Canada will become known as a warehouse

of information on Canada's nanotech industry. This will enable it to playa

matchmaking role between companies and researchers, which will facilitate

technology transfer.

It is anticipated that companies would contact

NanoCommunity Canada for recommendations

on obtaining certain types of

expertise from universities,

and university researchers would contact

NanoCommunity Canada

to get a list of companies that would be interested in a

particular technology that they have patented.
