This training program, DREAMS (Dalhousie Research in Energy, Advanced Materials and Sustainability) will support a cohort of research trainees who will address important aspects of energy production/storage and sustainability. Researchers will play a pivotal role in renewable energy production and storage as well as the sustainable production of environmentally acceptable or re-usable materials. The DREAMS cohort will tackle some of the most important problems through advanced materials research. By a novel training approach, this program will facilitate the transition of new researchers from trainees to productive participants in the Canadian economic community. The proposed training program addresses two target areas of strategic importance to Canada -- Natural resources and energy, and Environmental science and technologies. The approach to both important areas is through advanced materials research training, as detailed below. Graduate trainees will take three new courses in: a) materials for renewable energy production (solar, thermoelectric, energy harvesting, etc.); b) materials for energy storage (batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors); c) sustainable materials approaches, as well as significant professional skills training. Masters and PhD student trainees will spend internships periods at partner laboratories focusing on energy production and storage or sustainability. Partners include 3M Co. (USA), 3M Canada, Axion Power International, DRDC-Atlantic, Toshiba (Japan), Scotian Windfields Inc., CIS Scientific, Hydro-Québec and Helix Scientific. Most of the partners are involved in funded research collaborations with the applicant team, and all the partners have written enthusiastic letters for the DREAMS proposal, highlighting the need for such trainees.

该培训计划，梦想（Dalhousie Energy，高级材料和可持续性研究）将支持一系列研究受训者，他们将解决能源生产/存储和可持续性的重要方面。研究人员将在可再生能源生产和存储以及可持续可接受或可重复使用的材料的可持续生产中发挥关键作用。梦想队列将通过高级材料研究解决一些最重要的问题。通过一种新颖的培训方法，该计划将促进新研究人员从学员到加拿大经济社区的产品参与者的过渡。 拟议的培训计划涉及对加拿大战略重要性的两个目标领域 - 自然资源和能源以及环境科学和技术。这两个重要领域的方法是通过高级材料研究培训，如下所述。 研究生学员将参加三个新课程：a）可再生能源生产的材料（太阳能，热电，能源收集等）； b）能源储能的材料（电池，燃料电池，超级电容器）； c）可持续材料方法以及重大的专业技能培训。硕士和博士生学员将在专注于能源生产，存储或可持续性的合作伙伴实验室度过实习期。合作伙伴包括3M Co.（美国），加拿大3M，Axion Power International，Drdc-Atlantic，Toshiba（日本），斯科舍省Windfields Inc.，CIS Scientific，Hydro-Québec和Helix Scientific。大多数合作伙伴都参与了与申请人团队的资助研究合作，所有合作伙伴都为梦想建议写了热情的信，强调了对此类培训的需求。
