INSPIRE. Interdisciplinary Network for the Synchrotron: Promoting Innovation, Research, and Enrichment

NSERC Create to INSPIRE(同步加速器跨学科网络：促进创新、研究和丰富)利用加拿大光源(CLS)作为加拿大独一无二的平台，为各种职业培训和指导高技能毕业生。同步加速器光使许多现代研究领域发生了革命性的变化，使各种具有全球重要性的领域的解决方案成为可能，从用于新电子和能源存储的先进材料，到缓解环境挑战，再到抗击疾病的变革性治疗。CLS由萨斯喀彻温大学主办，是加拿大的同步辐射光源；它吸引了来自加拿大和世界各地的用户，为丰富的跨学科培训和研究提供了绝佳的机会。INSPIRE将来自多个学科的学员召集到两个领域：技术--与CLS专家合作，推动同步加速器各方面的性能；以及应用--使用同步加速器回答环境科学和农业、生命和健康科学、自然资源和能源以及先进材料方面的问题。启迪在CLS组织技术培训，学员学习在密集的高科技环境中适应和在团队中工作，并通过专业发展培训增强技能并为学员就业做好准备。在国外同步加速器的可选培训或研讨会扩大了实习生的体验。INSPIRE通过计划范围内的活动和强大的学员领导力，利用其跨学科网络，而导师圈子为深思熟虑的个人和职业发展提供了一个安全的空间。与职业顾问的互动和精选的合作伙伴公司实习也为学生过渡到许多行业的职业做好准备，从资源和制药行业或环境监测到同步加速器专家。公平、多样性和包容性(EDI)是一个核心培训重点，自选的学生将被培养成EDI冠军。INSPIRE学员所获得的跨学科流畅性、不同的专业技能和EDI意识使他们成为灵活和包容的领导者，能够适应不可预测的就业形势。

The NSERC CREATE to INSPIRE (Interdisciplinary Network for the Synchrotron: Promoting Innovation, Research, and Enrichment) capitalizes on the Canadian Light Source (CLS) as a platform unique within Canada to train and mentor highly skilled graduates for a variety of careers. Synchrotron light has revolutionized many areas of modern research, enabling solutions in myriad fields of global importance, from advanced materials for new electronics and energy storage, to mitigating environmental challenges, to transformative treatments to combat disease. Hosted at the University of Saskatchewan, the CLS is Canada's synchrotron light source; drawing users from across Canada and around the world, it presents remarkable opportunities for enriched interdisciplinary training and research. INSPIRE convenes trainees from many disciplines into two streams: technologies - working with CLS experts to push performance of all aspects of the synchrotron; and applications - using the synchrotron to answer questions in environmental science and agriculture, life and health sciences, natural resources and energy, and advanced materials. INSPIRE weaves technical training at the CLS, where trainees learn to adapt and work in teams in an intensive high technology environment, with professional development training to augment skills and poise trainees for employment. Optional training or workshops at foreign synchrotrons expand the trainee experience. INSPIRE leverages its interdisciplinary network through program-wide activities with strong trainee leadership, while mentorship circles provide a safe space for thoughtful personal and career development. Interactions with career advisors and select partner company internships also prepare students to transition to careers in many sectors, from resource and pharmaceutical industry or environmental monitoring to synchrotron specialist. Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is a core training focus, with self-selected students training to become EDI champions. The interdisciplinary fluency, diverse professional skills and EDI awareness acquired by INSPIRE trainees poise them to be flexible and inclusive leaders, adaptable to meet the unpredictability of employment landscapes.
