MaRS FACTS

MaRS is not an acronym. It was originally a file name and the words "Medical and Related Sciences" were later attributed to it. Since we promote the convergence of a full range of science and technology disciplines, we've dropped ”Medical and Related Sciences” from our name and we’re back to just “MaRS”.
