September 24, 2009
The University of Guelph is home to two $5-million federal strategic research networks through which world leaders will combine their knowledge and research expertise to help generate sustainable sources of renewable fuels and address the global pollinator shortage.
Gary Goodyear, minister of science and technology, officially announced the networks today on behalf of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). The Guelph networks were among nine that were unveiled, with each receiving about $1 million a year for five years.
The Bioconversion Network and the Canadian Pollination Initiative (CANPOLIN) will be led by Prof. Hung Lee and recently retired professor Peter Kevan, both of OAC's School of Environmental Sciences.
