Training, research & novel applications
The BCIT Centre for Ecocities is collaborating with York University and the University of Iceland on an International Ecological Footprint Learning Lab project. This project, led by York University, is supported by the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council’s (SSHRC) Partnership Grant Award which will provide $2,486,181 towards the project.
BCIT will receive $180,000 to support up to nine graduate students over the course of seven years to build their knowledge in ecological footprint analysis at the urban scale. This training serves as a complement to students’ studies in their given discipline.
“Training in ecological footprint analysis and sustainability analytics is essential to help students make global connections and future proof their education,” ~ Dr. Jennie Moore, Director
