SFU CLIMATE INNOVATION SEED FUNDS

Seed Funds

 

SFU Climate Innovation Seed Funds aim to catalyze community-centred climate action and innovation research-for-impact. Building on SFU’s research priority – community-centred climate innovation – the seed funds are part of an integrated SFU Climate Innovation platform that is elevating interdisciplinary research by further enabling faculty and graduate students to co-create high-impact research with community partners. Together with a suite of services and supports, the seed funds are building a collaborative funding runway to advance transformative research and access higher-order funding with the goal of accelerating low carbon, resilient, and sustainable communities across Canada, and beyond.
