Established in 2012 by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and Queen’s School of Business, Queen’s Innovation Connector (QIC) provides a number of programs and resources to help foster innovation and entrepreneurship at the university. With Global Entrepreneurship Week being marked Nov. 17-23, Gazette Editor Andrew Carroll sat down with executive director Greg Bavington and Alix Murphy, Queen’s Summer Innovation Initiative (QSII) co-ordinator, to talk about the work being done and what it means for the future of Queen’s and its students.
