University of Toronto Joins Canadian Nuclear Laboratories’ Academic Partnership Program
The partnership will expand student placements, research collaborations and training, and CNL said the program has already engaged more than 7,000 students.
- On Thursday, the University of Toronto joined the Academic Partnership Program as its tenth member, with representatives signing at the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus alongside Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.
- The Academic Partnership Program supports Canada's climate goals by building a workforce pipeline for the nuclear industry, enabling researchers to share access to infrastructure and expertise at national nuclear laboratories.
- Since entering its fourth year, the program has engaged over 7,000 students across Canada. "Canada's nuclear capability has been built over many decades through leading organizations," said Dr. Nazir Kherani, Professor in U of T's Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
- Administrators envision student research placements at Chalk River Laboratories, conferences, and collaborative research, with potential guest lectures from CNL and AECL experts or jointly offered micro-credential courses for emerging nuclear technologies.
- The agreement follows the federal government's Nuclear Energy Strategy for Canada, which calls for constructing new reactors and growing opportunities for CANDU technology to establish Canada as a global nuclear leader.
