Net Zero Atlantic welcomes you to attend our upcoming Lightning Talks and Speed Mentoring Session.
During this event, you’ll hear from our Mitacs-funded students in Lightning Talks featuring three-minute presentations about projects from Net Zero Atlantic’s Emerging Concepts and Technologies (ECT) Program and Pro-Climate Behaviours project. This will be followed by a Speed Mentoring Session, with our approach modeled after speed dating. Each mentee will have approximately five minutes to ask questions before moving onto the next mentor. Mentees should come prepared with questions to ask the mentors.
At the end of this event, there will be further opportunity for mingling and asking follow-up questions while enjoying refreshments.
