Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s global project program has displayed tremendous range especially overseas with project centers in 30 international countries. Looking at this list of WPI international project center destinations you may notice our close neighbor, Canada, doesn’t currently have any WPI project centers. However, there is a multicultural Canadian city, Montreal, that is only a day's drive away from Worcester and has "a great reputation as a world class study destination” (Icy Canada, 2022) as well as being regarded for its arts, diversity, and culture. Since many of WPI’s existing global project centers are partnered with international universities, Montreal and its finest colleges for WPI to potentially collaborate with were examined for their suitability to host a global project center. By helping WPI see this strong educational opportunity in Montreal it could be at the top of the list of destinations to receive the next global project center destination.
