Saskatchewan Polytechnic is committed to building a more sustainable future. Sustainability is embedded in our institutional Strategic Plan (2020-2025): "Leading the Rise: Bringing polytechnic education to new heights," which commits to engaging our community with respect, integrity, sustainability, and excellence. Sustainable development is at the core of academic programming, applied research and administrative initiatives. Leadership at the institutional level has committed to advancing UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and has signed on to national and international accords to reflect this commitment. Success linked to SDGs aligns with Saskatchewan Polytechnic's stated goals of supporting communities and creating equitable opportunities while ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to succeed and develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that will allow them to contribute to a sustainable society. Applied research to address sustainability is united under our newly established Sustainability-Led Integrated Centres of Excellence (SLICE). SLICE's collaborative approach brings together the expertise needed to address complex issues related to sustainability. Saskatchewan Polytechnic's aim with the NSERC Mobilize funding is twofold. - First: strategically devote funds to launching and accelerating Sask Polytech's new Sustainability-Led Integrated Centres of Excellence (SLICE) as a focus area for effort in the next five years. - Second: continue to grow our applied research enterprise across SP's established research centres/areas of expertise. To meet these dual objectives, Mobilize funds are sought for three areas: 1) Enable Sask Polytech to build a new applied research program (SLICE) and enhance existing programs with needed resources for personnel time (researchers, technicians, and business development);2) Train a diverse pool of students to prepare them to enter the workforce through funding for student applied research training and engagement; and 3) Strengthen connections with research partners, communities, funders, industry, and not-for-profit orgs with funds for engaging community partners in entry-level and time-critical applied research that will lead to larger, impactful, and funded applied research projects and programs.

萨斯喀彻温省理工学院致力于建设更加可持续的未来。可持续发展融入了我们的机构战略计划（2020-2025）：“引领崛起：将理工学院教育推向新高度”，该计划致力于以尊重、诚信、可持续和卓越的方式吸引我们的社区。可持续发展是学术规划、应用研究和行政举措的核心。机构层面的领导层致力于推进联合国可持续发展目标 (SDG)，并签署了国家和国际协议以体现这一承诺。与可持续发展目标相关的成功符合萨斯喀彻温理工学院既定的支持社区和创造公平机会的目标，同时确保所有学习者都有机会取得成功并发展知识、技能、态度和价值观，使他们能够为可持续发展的社会做出贡献。解决可持续发展问题的应用研究统一在我们新成立的可持续发展主导的综合卓越中心 (SLICE) 下。 SLICE 的协作方法汇集了解决与可持续发展相关的复杂问题所需的专业知识。萨斯喀彻温理工学院获得 NSERC 动员资金的目的是双重的。 - 第一：战略性地投入资金启动和加速萨斯克理工学院新的可持续发展主导的综合卓越中心（SLICE），作为未来五年的重点工作领域。 - 第二：继续在 SP 已建立的研究中心/专业领域发展我们的应用研究企业。 为了实现这些双重目标，需要在三个领域筹集资金：1) 使萨斯克理工学院能够建立一个新的应用研究项目 (SLICE)，并利用人员时间（研究人员、技术人员和业务开发）所需的资源来加强现有项目；2 ）通过资助学生应用研究培训和参与，培训多元化的学生，为他们进入劳动力市场做好准备； 3) 加强与研究合作伙伴、社区、资助者、行业和非营利组织的联系，提供资金让社区合作伙伴参与入门级和时间紧迫的应用研究，从而产生更大规模、有影响力和受资助的应用研究项目和计划。
