Current and Future Eastern Ontario/Monieson Research

Research is never done in a vacuum, and knowing what is being studied may help to prevent re-inventing the wheel. Here is current research being done and future research being planned in Eastern Ontario by The Monieson Centre.

Prince Edward/Lennox Addington Community Futures Development Corporation (PELA CFDC)

The Monieson Centre has signed a three-year memorandum of understanding with PELA CFDC to facilitate research on knowledge-based regional economic development. The PELA CFDC project team is multidisciplinary with faculty and graduate students from Business, Economics, Geography, Health Sciences, Policy Studies, Urban and Regional Planning, and other Queen's Departments.  Specific topics include: Human Capitol Challenges (e.g., labour force education and skills, and the recruitment and retention of knowledge workers), Rural Innovation (such as entrepreneurship, creative (e.g., arts-based) economies, and environmental responsibilities and constraints), and Systems for Rural Development(such as governance, urban/rural interaction and knowledge spillovers, region-specific development approaches and information, communications technology infrastructures).
