Help us find a name for our Canada First Research Excellence Fund program
Earlier this year, Concordia and its partners secured a $123-million Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF) grant titled Electrifying Society: Towards Resilient Decarbonized Communities. This represents the largest grant in Concordia's history.
With these funds, Concordia and its partners are establishing a world-leading research program designed to apply novel technologies to create innovative energy sources, secure critical infrastructure and deliver affordable, green energy to municipalities and communities across the country.
Now we need your help to find a name for our program. The winning submission will be eligibile* to win a $250 pre-paid Visa card.** Submissions will be accepted until August 20, 2023.
