The University of Washington, one of OSLI’s sponsored teams, won the grand prize in the 2011 synthetic biology iGEM competition.

OSLI’s Regional Water Management Solutions program is investigating the possibility of recycling tailings water in the Lower Athabasca River Watershed.

While OSLI’s Faster Forest program is designed to reduce the footprint of oil sands development by planting trees in areas disturbed by industrial activity, the focus of the program isn’t on the numbers. It’s on the forest.

An independent technology portal might speed up the process for entrepreneurs who want to submit their inventions to oil sands companies.

OSLI is taking a LEAP to understand how reforestation and reclamation work undertaken today will impact future forests.
