Student researchers in energy and tech are competing for prizes this April
On February 1, the call for the 2024 Net Zero Atlantic Student Research Poster Competition was released and X respondents were received from Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Now, 17 post-secondary and community college students competitors are turning their winning abstract into a research poster and conference presentation.
At this stage of the competition students are vying for a $500 prize for each research category.
Renewable energy or clean tech innovation are the areas of research students were asked to choose from. Both fields of study are essential aspects of the energy transition happening now and additional innovative approaches and specific science-based solutions are needed as we advance to a net-zero future.
Net Zero Atlantic are pleased with the number and quality of submissions, and we expect conference attendees, including professionals from academia, government, and industry active in the energy sector, will agree with us when we say emerging research out of universities and colleges is hitting the many marks of what we need now.
