Information session on June 25

Are you interested in finding solutions to Climate Change? 

Are you interested in new venture creation and entrepreneurship?

Are you interested in technology and infrastructure particularly in the areas of Energy, Real Estate or Transportation?

If you answered “Yes” to any of the above, then the following opportunity may be of interest.

Mission from MaRS: Climate Impact Challenge aims to address the global climate crisis by rapidly accelerating the adoption of Canada’s most impactful carbon-reducing innovations. MaRS is working with 10 ventures across three core technology and infrastructure themes: energy, real estate and transportation. 

MaRS is seeking 10 students to engaging closely with an assigned venture and their respective coalitions to identify, analyze and reduce barriers to adoption through a series of monthly roundtable discussions and workshops. Students will commit to engaging with their assigned venture with weekly preparation, research, documentation, and logistics responsibilities from September to April 2021 and in turn will gain insights into new venture creation, and how these organizations can have a positive impact and bring forward solutions to climate change.

Participating students will be paired with one coalition for the duration of the Mission from MaRS program.

Interested students must complete an independent study in either Fall 2021 or Winter 2022 along with committing to engage with MaRS and the venture they are assigned from September to April (Please ensure you are eligible to complete an independent study elective).

This opportunity is open to Schulich 3rd and 4th year undergraduate students as well as Schulich graduate students.
