NSERC CREATE in Water and Sanitation for Low-resource Contexts

低资源环境下的水和卫生设施CREATE的目标是在跨学科的沉浸式和体验式培训环境中提高下一代hqp的技能，以获得必要的能力，以共同设计适合低资源环境下多方面问题的解决方案。为此，我们将共同研究可持续供水和环境卫生服务的解决方案，以在国内和全球范围内改善我们社区最贫困和最边缘化成员的生计。这将导致HQP在加拿大环境部门高需求的一套技术和专业技能的培训。CREATE项目将整合目前分散在加拿大8所大学（维多利亚大学、不列颠哥伦比亚大学、SFU、西部大学、圭尔夫大学、多伦多大学、卡尔顿大学和拉瓦尔大学）的水资源和卫生专业知识。参与机构已为该创新中心提供了大量财政捐助（占总数的37%）。该计划将培养下一代工程师和科学家，使他们具备应对水和卫生挑战所需的知识（头脑）、技能（双手）和心态（心灵），这是历史和全球不平等的最大问题之一。

The objective of the CREATE in Water and Sanitation for Low-resource Contexts is to upskill the next generation of HQPs within a interdisciplinary immersive and experiential training environment to acquire the necessary competencies to co-engineer fit-for-purpose solutions to multifaceted problems set in low resource contexts. In doing so, we will collaboratively research solutions for sustainable water and sanitation services to improve livelihoods for the poorest and most marginalised members of our community both domestically and globally. This will result in HQP trained in a suite of technical and professional skills in high demand in the Canadian environmental sector. This CREATE program will consolidate expertise in water and sanitation for low-resource contexts that is currently dispersed across 8 Canadian universities (UVic, UBC, SFU, Western, Guelph, Toronto, Carleton, and Laval). Participating institutions have made substantial financial contributions (37 % of total) to this CREATE. This program will train the next generation of engineers and scientists to have the knowledge (heads), skills (hands), and mindset (hearts) needed to tackle water and sanitation challenges which is one of greatest issues of historic and global inequity.
