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，所提供的产品普遍存在于生活的方方面面，不仅提供化妆品、能源、燃料、染料、纺织品和香料，还提供治疗衰弱疾病的药物。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，加拿大化工和相关行业需要更可持续、更环保的制造工艺，既对员工安全，又经济健康。连续流动科学已经成为一种革命性的、环保的技术，可以满足这些要求，因为它具有许多优势，包括在小范围和大范围内提高效率、安全性和成本节约。连续流科学的这一创造计划的主要目标将是通过为本科生、研究生和从事化学和化学工程的博士后研究员提供超出正常学术环境的增值活动组合，来加强他们的教育培训。通过发放津贴或旅行基金，并与工业界建立伙伴关系，将向他们提供广泛的课程、暑期学校、讲习班、交流实习、会议以及有关基础设施的实践培训。作为回报，学生们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，并为加拿大经济的增长做出贡献。毕业生肯定会成为化学合成、化学分析和化学工程行业以及学术界、政府和法律界任何雇主的热门人选。

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.
