NSERC Green Surface Engineering for Advanced Manufacturing (Green SEAM) Network

NSERC先进制造绿色表面工程(Green-Seam)战略网络是由领先的加拿大研究人员及其行业和政府合作伙伴共同开展的一项深远的合作研究工作，旨在将加拿大定位为新兴涂层和表面工程技术的世界领先者。它将支持加拿大创造高价值就业机会和出口密集型的关键经济部门。它们包括航空航天和汽车、自然资源和可再生能源的先进制造。涂料被越来越多地用于提高部件和系统的性能、经济性和安全性。材料科学和应用技术的快速发展使其重要性与日俱增。这个五年网络将第一次导致泛加拿大的合作，涉及以前倾向于独立发展的表面工程学科。该网络还将率先开发标准方法，以确保整个加拿大涂层和表面工程社区对环境负责的做法和解决方案，这一模式将适用于其他行业。大部分研究将由学生研究人员在大学、行业和政府专家的指导下进行，为他们做好准备，成为下一代表面工程师和科学家，他们将具备在职业生涯中融入“绿色思维”的能力。传教士将加拿大表面工程领域的领导者整合到一个具有凝聚力的社区中，使总部能够研究、开发和部署创新的、具有全球竞争力和可持续发展的SE解决方案，以造福加拿大经济。

The NSERC Green Surface Engineering for Advanced Manufacturing (Green-SEAM) Strategic Network is a far reaching collaborative research effort by leading Canadian researchers and their industry and government partners to position Canada as a world leader in emerging coating and surface engineering technologies. It will support key Canadian economic sectors that generate high value jobs and are export intensive. They include advanced manufacturing in aerospace and automotive, natural resources and renewable energy. Coatings are increasingly used to improve the performance, economics and safety of components and systems. Rapid developments in materials science and application technologies are increasing their importance. This five year Network will, for the first time, result in pan-Canadian collaborations involving surface engineering disciplines that have previously tended to progress independently. The Network will also pioneer the development of standard methodologies to ensure environmentally responsible practices and solutions by the entire Canadian coating and surface engineering community, a model which will be applicable to other industry sectors. Much of the research will be performed by student researchers under the guidance of university, industry and government experts, preparing them to be the next generation of surface engineers and scientists who will be equipped to incorporate "green thinking" throughout their careers.MissionIntegrate Canada's surface engineering leaders into a cohesive community that empowers HQPs to research, develop and deploy innovative globally competitive and sustainable SE solutions to the benefit of Canada's economy.
