Canada harbours tens of thousands of lakes and many of the world's largest rivers. These ecosystems are facing increasing pressures, particularly through resource exploitation, the intensification of agriculture and climate change. The widespread presence of these stressors has brought about a sustained demand for highly qualified personnel in aquatic ecology. Although employers recognize that candidates who graduate from our universities are highly competent in freshwater science, they lack knowledge vis-à-vis the realities of the working environment. In this context, the CREATE training program in Lake and Fluvial Ecology (ÉcoLac) meets a strategic demand. Furthermore, the proposed program directly falls within the NSERC target area "Environmental science and technologies". This program will be unique because the targeted ecosystems are not the object of any other CREATE program. ÉcoLac will be a bilingual program and will allow for more than 110 candidates to receive training complementary to their scientific eductation, through 10 major initiatives: course on ethical conduct and project management (initiative 1); courses on writing (initiative 2) and oral communication (initiative 3); paid internships in the professional environment (initiative 4); summer field courses on Boreal lakes (initiative 5) and fluvial ecology (initiative 6); workshops on state-of-the-art techniques (initiative 7); annual symposium on realities of the working environment with people from industry and government (initiative 8); fellowships for national and international internships (initiative 9) and for interdisciplinary training (initiative 10). ÉcoLac will involve the Groupe de recherche interuniversitaire en limnologie et en environnement aquatique (GRIL; 8 universities from Québec), the Canadian Rivers Institute (University of New Brunswick) and the Cooperative Freshwater Ecology Unit (Laurentian University). By developing a synergy among the three main freshwater research centres in Eastern Canada, we will create an outstanding training program.

加拿大拥有数以万计的湖泊和许多世界上最大的河流，这些生态系统面临着越来越大的压力，特别是通过资源开发、农业集约化和气候变化，这些压力源的广泛存在带来了对高素质人才的持续需求。尽管雇主认识到缺乏我们大学毕业生的候选人在淡水科学方面具有很强的能力，但他们了解工作环境的现实情况，在这方面，CREATE 培训计划在湖和此外，河流生态学 (ÉcoLac) 满足战略需求，该计划直接属于 NSERC 目标领域“环境科学和技术”，因为目标生态系统不是任何其他 CREATE 计划的目标。是一个双语计划，将允许 110 多名候选人通过 10 个主要举措接受与其科学教育互补的培训：行为和项目管理课程（举措道德 1）；写作课程（举措 2）和口语交流课程（举措 3）；专业环境中的带薪实习（举措 4）；关于北方湖泊（举措 5）和河流生态学（举措 6）的夏季实地课程；最先进的技术（举措 7）；与行业和政府人员举行关于工作环境现实的年度研讨会（举措 8）； ÉcoLac 将包括 Groupe de recherche interuniversitaire en limnologie et en environnement aquatique (GRIL；魁北克省的 8 所大学)、加拿大河流研究所 (新不伦瑞克大学) 和淡水生态合作单位 (劳伦森大学)。东部三个主要淡水研究中心加拿大，我们将创建一个出色的培训计划。
