A brief description of the institution’s program(s) to encourage faculty research in sustainability:
Environmental Research Symposium
The College of Sustainability convenes research development sessions based on calls for proposals from granting agencies, inviting interested faculty members and researchers from across the university. College staff support the development of proposals based on the outcomes of these sessions. In one example, this resulted in a proposal involving 25 faculty from over 7 Dalhousie faculties and two other regional universities.
As well, the College of Sustainability convenes “Research Conversations” once per term, themed around major transdisciplinary issues in sustainability research. The first such event occurred in Winter 2011 on the theme of “Oceans and Sustainability” with 15 faculty members present. Researchers from across the university are invited to speak for five minutes on their work related to the theme, followed by a general discussion of synergies and opportunities for collaboration. Future themes include “Food and Food Security” and “Energy for Cities.”
