UBC researchers are leading five new training initiatives to help prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers for their future careers through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada's (NSERC) Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) program.
These innovative and multidisciplinary training and mentorship programs help teams of highly qualified students and postdoctoral fellows develop their professional and technical skills while preparing them for their future careers in academia, industry, government and beyond.
The five UBC-led programs were awarded a combined $8.25 million over six years by NSERC as part of a national investment of more than $32 million for 20 new programs through the CREATE program.
