Description
The Economics and Environmental Policy research Network (EEPRN), hosted by University of Ottawa, brings together leading researchers from across the country to study and develop innovative policies for protecting Canada’s environment while simultaneously building a stronger economic future. This project is undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Federal Department of the Environment. The Network mobilizes over 84 scholars from Canadian universities as well as internationally. The Network builds connections and capacity, fosters greater dialogue between academics and government partners, and generates innovative, policy-relevant research.
EEPRN is seeking proposals for academic research projects in the following priority areas: Conservation (including species at risk protection); Innovation & Competitiveness; and Data Set Development and Linkages. These areas have been compiled through consultation with Environment Canada, the EEPRN Steering Committee, and stemming from the EEPRN 2014 Research Symposium.
