Volt-Age launches ASCENT call to advance dual-use research innovation and technology development
Canada’s energy transition will require new technologies that can help communities, industries and governments meet growing energy challenges.
Through its new ASCENT Call for Proposals, Concordia’s Volt-Age research program is providing researchers with funding to turn promising ideas into practical solutions.
The call will support projects that develop and test technologies from improving clean energy systems and reducing emissions to strengthening Canada’s ability to respond to future energy needs. Researchers will work with partners across academia, industry, government and communities to move innovations closer to real-world use.
