The Ontario
North Green Economy Network (ONGEN) supports development of a pan-regional green economy by
networking research, support services and industries. ONGEN has been set up to create new economic opportunity through
production of green energy, chemicals and natural health compounds, all within a
sustainability benchmarked framework.
ONGEN recognizes the most effective way to generate a green economy is to identify unique regional resources, as well as identify regional and international markets for arising products and expertise. The goals are new avenues for green economic development and job creation, coupled to sustainable development linked to energy conservation and greenhouse gas emission reduction.
| Opportunities: funded by industry and research councils we have a range of collaborative research and development projects and opportunities exist for graduate students in engineering and biological sciences at the Master's, PhD and Post-Doctoral level. If you are interested in a position or about the work being conducted, please email Dr. Ashley Scott (jascott@laurentian.ca). |
