Petro-Canada Young Innovator Program - WESTERN & ROBARTS Awards

The Petro-Canada program now provides two awards to new researchers at Western and Robarts to recognize, promote and support work that is particularly innovative, impacts positively on the learning environment in their department, and has the potential to be of significance to society at large. This program is intended to help attract and retain bright young minds at Canadian Universities, colleges and major research institutes and to help young researchers launch their scholarly careers and enable them to carry their research forward.

See program-specific guidelines for eligibility requirements for both the Western and Robarts Awards.
