Building Climate Solutions: PICS Opportunity Projects Program – UBC Information Session

 

Building Climate Solutions: partnerships for new ideas, new approaches, new entrants

 

The Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS) recently announced a call for proposals under its new Opportunity Projects Program (https://pics.uvic.ca/opportunity-projects-program).  The Opportunity program is a catalyst for developing climate solutions and will support an approach to research that defines meaningful activities focused on partnerships and engagement, helping climate solution seekers become effective solution makers, from question to collaboration, and idea to action. Proposals are invited for high-quality, innovative research projects in areas of high potential for impact in climate change mitigation and adaptation including emerging and novel issues.

 

In this session, PICS Executive Director Sybil Seitzinger will present a brief overview of the call for proposals under the Opportunity program followed by a question and answer period.

 

Following the presentation, faculty and potential partners can also arrange a time to meet with her to discuss additional queries.

 

Please mark your calendars:
