Thank you for your interest in partnering with Research Nova Scotia.
Research Nova Scotia was established to enhance research capacity, as well as align research funding, with provincial priorities and promotes a mission-oriented research ecosystem to help solve Nova Scotia’s biggest challenges. We define sponsorship as a business relationship between Research Nova Scotia and an event or organization. In exchange for funds, resources, or services, we will receive specific commercial and/or promotional benefits.
Sponsorship opportunities include, but are not limited to:
- Conferences
- Events (i.e. dinners, trade shows, workshops, etc.)
- Other select research and/or program opportunities
Sponsorship proposals will be evaluated on the following criteria:
CRITERIA | WEIGHT | |
---|---|---|
Mission Alignment | 40% | |
Brand Alignment | 15% | |
Business Result | 30% | |
Engagement Opportunity | 15% |
Applications will be evaluated by an internal committee using these weighted criteria and minimum score requirements.
