A brief description or the text of the institution’s policy regarding interdisciplinary research:
Carleton has a vibrant multidisciplinary research community whose work is complemented by high quality programs and innovative teaching methods. Research in sustainable energy at Carleton stems principally from the Faculty of Engineering and Design and the School of Public Policy and Administration, but also includes other faculties including Arts and Social Sciences, Biology, Economics, Political Science and the Sprott School of Business.
We are committed to world-class research in addressing real world issues and sustainable energy issues and developing practical “real world” solutions. Through CSERC, our research provides a unique platform to expose a new generation of students and professionals to cutting-edge research into scientific, social and political dimensions of transforming the energy sector into a more sustainable system. It is through those students, our future technology and policy professionals, that we will find leadership to design and deploy energy solutions that advance economic and social development locally, nationally and globally.
Our research in energy and sustainability has been captured in “Energizing our Future”. This publication showcases some of the most significant research that is currently underway at Carleton, our researchers and our focus for the future through the Sustainable Energy Research Centre.
