Since 1940, multinational technical cooperation has been key component of military innovation between Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. This link has meant more than sharing cutting edge hardware, such as nuclear propulsion, building fundamental trust between the governments and service members of these nations. The roots of this long connection go back to the British Scientific and Technical Mission of the autumn of 1940, often named for its leader and chief scientist, Sir Henry Tizard.
To mark the anniversary of this event, on 17 November 2015 senior sponsors from the three countries, as well as research managers and illustrious scholars, met at the Embassy of Canada to explain the Tizard Mission’s actions, and outline the lifetime of benefits gained from the technical exchanges it spawned. At the meeting’s conclusion, representatives of the three countries research establishments reaffirmed this commitment, signing a promise to continue it in the future.
