NSERC CREATE Training Program in Continuous Flow Science

化学品是过去、现在和未来所有工业创新的核心，并为生活的各个方面提供无处不在的产品，不仅提供化妆品、能源、燃料、染料、纺织品和香料，还提供治疗使人衰弱的疾病的药物。因此，加拿大制造业和精细化工部门对加拿大经济产生重大影响，也影响到加拿大人的健康、安全和生活水平。为了保持全球竞争力，加拿大化工及相关行业需要更可持续、更环保的制造工艺，既要对员工安全，又要经济合理。连续流科学作为一种革命性的、环保的技术应运而生，满足了这些要求，因为它具有许多优势，包括提高效率、安全性和节省成本，无论在小型还是大型项目中都是如此。持续流动科学的CREATE项目的主要目标是通过为化学和化学工程领域的本科生、研究生和博士后提供超出正常学术环境的增值活动组合，加强他们的教育培训。通过奖励津贴或旅游基金，以及与行业合作，他们将获得广泛的课程、暑期学校、研讨会、交换实习、会议以及相关基础设施的实践培训。作为回报，学生将获得现实世界的知识和实践技能，成为未来的领导者，从长远来看，他们将改变化学制造业，为加拿大经济的增长做出贡献。毕业生将成为化学合成、化学分析和化学工程行业以及学术、政府和法律部门的雇主追捧的候选人。

Chemicals are at the heart of all past, present, and future industrial innovation and furnish products that are pervasive in all aspects of life, providing not only cosmetics, energy, fuels, dyes, textiles, and flavours but also medicinal drugs to treat debilitating diseases. Hence, the Canadian manufacturing and fine chemical sectors play a significant impact on the Canadian economy, also affecting the health, safety and standard of living of Canadians. To stay globally competitive, Canadian chemical and allied industries need more sustainable and environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes that are both safe for employees and economically sound. Continuous flow science has emerged as a revolutionary, environmentally sound technology to fulfill these requirements, because it offers numerous advantages, including increased efficiency, safety and cost-savings on both small and large scales. The main objective of this CREATE program in Continuous Flow Science will be to enhance the educational training of undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows working in chemistry and chemical engineering by providing them with a combination of value-added activities that go beyond the normal academic setting. Through the award of stipends or travel funds and in partnerships with industry, they will be offered a wide range of courses, summer school, workshops, exchange internships, conferences as well as hands-on training on related infrastructure. In return, students will gain the real world knowledge and practical skills to become the leaders of tomorrow who, in the long run, will transform the chemical manufacturing sector and contribute to the growth of the Canadian economy. Graduates will definitely become sought-after candidates for any employers in the chemical synthesis, chemical analysis and chemical engineering industries as well as in the academic, governmental and legal sectors.
