A brief description of the student sustainability research program:
The EDDEC institute (Institute for the Environment, Sustainable Development and Circular Economy) organizes an annual scholarship competition for projects on environment, sustainable development and circular economy. This competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students from the three founding institutions of the EDDEC Institute (Universite de Montreal, Polytechnique Montreal and HEC Montreal). The purpose is to promote multidisciplinary research in these areas.
Seven scholarships, representing a total amount of 43 000$, were awarded for the 2018-2019 period for the three institutions.
The Université de Montréal staff, member of the CIRODD (Centre Interdisciplinaire de Recherche en Opérationnalisation du Développement Durable), have access to a 14 000$ funding to support interdisciplinary research through scholarships.

CIRODD: Interdisciplinary Research Centre for the Operationalization of Sustainable Development
CIRODD projects are carried out jointly by researchers and field actors. They are supported by the CIRODD team, which carries out liaison, transfer, communication, facilitation and animation work to create interdisciplinary communities that respond to the various challenges associated with the operationalization of sustainable development.
The evolution of the projects can be identified as this common process:
Step 1: Develop a global vision of an issue during a workshop between researchers and field actors.
Step 2: Bring out interdisciplinary and collaborative projects through support during the project set-up and the search for partners or representatives of economic sectors (private or collective company), public, community or association.
Step 3: Ensure the sustainability of the project in terms of resources by helping to identify programs and financial partners for the implementation of the project.
Step 4: Accompany, if necessary, the people involved in order to ensure the realization and success of the project.
Step 5: Disseminate, value and transfer research results so that they are accessible and used.
