Overview

The heart and engine of CONVERGE mCDR is a cohort of highly qualified personnel (HQPs) working across science, policy, community engagement, and economics. CONVERGE HQPs are early-career researchers with a drive and commitment to bring expertise from their research and work collaboratively across new disciplines and organizations to advance the research needed for responsible and equitable marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) within Canada. Through this work, CONVERGE HQPs will create valuable deliverables for partners, the community, and policymakers.

The CONVERGE HQP cohort of today will become the leaders of tomorrow within their communities and in their selected academic, government, and/or industry organizations.
