About TeachingCity

Collaboration

TeachingCity brings together the City of Oshawa and its education and research partners:

• Durham College
• Ontario Tech University
• Trent University Durham Greater Toronto Area
• The University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering

The partners address Oshawa's urban challenges through innovation, collaboration, applied research and shared experiential learning opportunities. The goal is to position Oshawa as a local, national and global community of urban research and learning.

As a TeachingCity, we focus on:

• Developing practical, scalable and sustainable solutions to urban challenges
• Building research partnerships
• Coordinating experiential learning opportunities, applied research and innovative educational activities
• Developing new technologies
• Sharing access to facilities, resources and equipment

The TeachingCity collaborative partnership is outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding (M.O.U.). Initially signed in 2017, the partners resigned a new M.O.U. in June 2022, extending the partnership until 2027.

 TeachingCity Steering Committee

TeachingCity has a formal steering committee comprised of key representatives from the collaborative partnership.
