There is a pressing need to train the next generation of environmental scientists in advanced technologies like geomatics, mass spectrometry, environmental impact assessment, genomic analysis, and environmental modeling, in order to meet contemporary needs of industry, government and the broader Canadian society. Yet, this new generation of environmental professionals must possess a modern, integrative approach not only in terms of technical skills, but also with respect to the translation of research products to a variety of stakeholders ranging from policy makers, to Aboriginal communities, to the general public.The NSERC CREATE program for training high quality personnel in Advanced Environmental Technologies (ADVENT) will be hosted by Trent University, with nodes at University of Toronto and Queens University. The program falls directly in line with NSERC CREATE's priority area: Environmental Science and Technologies, and will consist of a course-based Professional Science Masters degree, as well as training of MSc and PhD graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. The program will include integrative and applied courses in aspects of environmental sciences, workshops, field excursions, internships, research projects, and an annual showcase. In addition to providing strong training in environmental technologies, the program will emphasize communication, socio-cultural contexts, and professional skills training. The program will be supported by online modules, interdisciplinary team teaching, and interactions with diverse professionals. Ultimately, the program will become a national leader in training the next generation of environmental professionals, and contribute directly to making Canada a world leader in environmental sciences and technologies.

为了满足工业、政府和更广泛的加拿大社会的当代需求，迫切需要在地理信息、质谱、环境影响评估、基因组分析和环境建模等先进技术方面培养下一代环境科学家。然而，新一代的环境专业人员必须拥有一种现代的、综合的方法，不仅在技术技能方面，而且在将研究成果翻译给各种利益相关者方面，从政策制定者到土著社区，再到公众。NSERC的CREATE项目旨在培养先进环境技术（ADVENT）领域的高素质人才，将由特伦特大学主持，多伦多大学和皇后大学将作为节点。该计划直接符合NSERC CREATE的优先领域：环境科学与技术，并将包括基于课程的专业科学硕士学位，以及硕士和博士研究生和博士后研究员的培训。该计划将包括环境科学方面的综合和应用课程，研讨会，实地考察，实习，研究项目和年度展示。除了在环境技术方面提供强有力的培训外，该项目还将强调沟通、社会文化背景和专业技能培训。该计划将通过在线模块，跨学科团队教学以及与不同专业人士的互动来支持。最终，该计划将成为培养下一代环境专业人员的国家领导者，并直接为使加拿大成为环境科学和技术的世界领导者做出贡献。
