Tuesday, July 22, 2025 9:00 am - 1:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)Presented by: Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN)
Organized by: International Association for Green Energy (IAGE)
Event Sponsor: Fuel Cell and Green Energy Lab
Objective
The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia have collaboratively launched an international research initiative, funded by their respective national agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the USA and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). In addition, the Canadian federal government has established a dedicated agency for international research collaboration. The European Union's Horizon program has also expanded to allow international researchers to receive funding. Given the typically stringent deadlines for proposal submissions following the announcement of calls for proposals, this exclusive, invitation-only workshop is designed to provide a platform for researchers from these nations and related fields to network, foster relationships, and enhance their preparedness for future international collaborative opportunities.
