Purpose: Carleton University and CAE are accepting proposals for projects supporting the development of green aviation technologies and procedures (see Terms and Conditions). Actions have been undertaken by both organizations to address the challenges associated with climate change and sustainability. In 2020, CAE became carbon neutral by reducing its emissions and investing in projects that offset its residual annual carbon emissions and Carleton University has released a Comprehensive Sustainability Plan for 2020-2025[1]. In support of these efforts, projects must address at least one of the research themes below[2]:
