ORION is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to empowering Ontario researchers, educators and innovators. We foster a community of over two million users at more than a hundred universities, colleges, hospitals and research institutions. We enable ground-breaking discoveries and cutting-edge education by connecting institutions and regions through our network, facilitating collaboration, and providing our community with the digital tools and expert support they need to make the world a better place.
ORION is one of the 12 provincial and territorial networks, together with CANARIE, which collectively form Canada’s National Research and Education Network (NREN). This powerful digital infrastructure connects Canadians to national and global data, tools, colleagues and classrooms that fuel the engine of innovation in today’s digital economy.
