Network for Effective Collaboration Technologies through Advanced Research

Overview
The Network for Effective Collaboration Technologies through Advanced Research (NECTAR) (2004-2009) was a NSERC network of Canada's leading university researchers in human-computer interaction (HCI) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). Participants came from six Canadian universities and are world-class experts in these fields.

The network was focused on collaboration technologies. Its vision was to investigate technological and social issues to make computer-supported collaboration more efficient, more productive, and more natural.
