George Vari Engineering Building, Ryerson Campus, Room ENG-LG06
245 Church Street, Toronto, ON
10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m
In April 2011, the deans of York’s Faculty of Environmental Studies and Faculty of Sciences and Engineering and the dean of Ryerson’s Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Science met to explore the potential for collaboration on energy-related research, scholarship and learning.
One of the main outcomes of this meeting was a commitment to hold a workshop to facilitate the sharing of past and present work, as well as to outline future interests in an effort to build bridges between our institutions and across disciplines. This commitment recognizes that independent academic pursuits simply cannot address the multifaceted and complex research needs required to support the ongoing, global transformation of the energy sector into one that is highly efficient, low carbon, distributed and intelligent.
Invited are all faculty and students engaged in energy-related research to join us for a one-day workshop on Tuesday June 21 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in ENG LG06. If you are interested in attending this workshop, please RSVP to Lynda O’Malley at lynda.omalley@ryerson.ca or 416 979 5000 x 2974.
This will be an exciting day of sharing of research, ideas and energy-related issues!
