FUSION CONCORDIA
Fostering innovation in education and skill development for a future economy
The Future Skills Innovation Network (FUSION) was a pan-Canadian effort, initially spearheaded by Concordia and later continued at Carleton, to develop innovative approaches to skill development and to prepare students for the future economy.
NOTE: the FUSION Project at Concordia concluded in March 2026, although the modules are still available for use through Concordia's Centre for Teaching and Learning. More details on the FUSION National Project can be found on FUSION's website.
