CALL for RESEARCH CHALLENGES
Our Annual CPSC Industry event is scheduled for Thursday, May 9th from 8 am to 1 pm (including light breakfast and lunch) this year. This is a CALL for RESEARCH CHALLENGES. A "research challenge" is a broad range of questions all having in common that: -They are originated from (one of ) your real-world business projects -Content-wise, they somehow have a link to one of the CPSC competence areas listed here... -You believe that some portion of research would allow you to better address the original problem. For each challenge you have in mind, please fill out the attached form and submit toruhe@ucalgary.ca. We will have a dedicated session during our Industry Day event where we will discuss the results and offer ideas on how to proceed with the challenges. One idea would be to apply for an NSERC ENGAGE grant (with the key idea of fostering collaboration between industry and academia). See here... Please submit your challenges until May 2nd. Please also indicate if there is any confidentiality concern talking about your challenge. Challenges can also be formulated on-site during Industry Day. |
