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）作为加拿大独特的平台，为各种职业培训和指导高技能毕业生。同步加速器光已经彻底改变了现代研究的许多领域，为全球重要的无数领域提供了解决方案，从用于新型电子和能源存储的先进材料，到缓解环境挑战，再到对抗疾病的变革性治疗。位于萨斯喀彻温大学的CLS是加拿大的同步加速器光源；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非凡的机会。INSPIRE将来自许多学科的学员召集到两个流：技术-与CLS专家合作，推动同步加速器各方面的性能；应用方面——使用同步加速器来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。INSPIRE在CLS进行技术培训，学员在这里学习如何在高强度的高科技环境中适应和团队合作，并接受专业发展培训，以提高技能并为就业做好准备。在国外同步加速器的可选培训或研讨会扩大了学员的经验。INSPIRE利用其跨学科的网络，通过项目范围内的活动和强大的学员领导力，而导师圈为周到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合作伙伴公司的实习也为学生过渡到许多领域的职业做好了准备，从资源和制药行业或环境监测到同步加速器专家。公平、多元化和包容（EDI）是培训的核心重点，自选学生将接受培训，成为EDI冠军。通过INSPIRE学员获得的跨学科流利性、多样化的专业技能和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前景。

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.
