Canada's automotive industry is undergoing its most significant transformation in history as manufacturers, consumers and policies are shifting to zero-emission vehicles, with projections of hundreds of thousands of high-quality, sustainable new jobs over the next two decades. Canada is well-positioned to accelerate the mass production and adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and stationary battery energy storage systems in urban and northern/remote Indigenous community settings. However, these thermally-dependent core electrification technologies still require transformative developments in battery packs, chargers, electric motors, and thermal management strategies to improve their reliability, performance and safety. The NSERC CREATE in Thermal Management of Electrification Technologies (TherMET) aims to meet these challenges by establishing a pioneering and sustainable training program in advanced thermal management of core electrification technologies within a holistic component-to-system training scope. TherMET offers 12 integrated training components that augment trainees' interdisciplinary technical and professional skills, enhancing their opportunities for academia-industry collaborations, mobility and their job readiness. TherMET's multi-disciplinary/multi-institutional/multi-sectoral team includes ten professors and 21 collaborators from industry, academia, Canada/USA national labs, transportation and utility consortia, territorial and municipal governments, and Indigenous communities. We will train and mentor Canada's future leaders on core electrification technologies leading to thermally-safer, lighter, more durable and environmentally-friendly batteries and EVs. Leveraging Canada's strong policies, the automotive industry's firm plans to transition to electrification, and our younger generations' embrace of an electric future, TherMET will nurture the next generation of professionals and leaders to instill the talent and skills to advance thermal management innovations suitable for extreme cold/hot climates and to act on the environmental and social issues affecting these core electrification technologies.

随着制造商、消费者和政策转向零排放汽车，加拿大汽车行业正在经历历史上最重大的转型，预计未来二十年将创造数十万个高质量、可持续的新就业岗位。 加拿大处于有利位置，可以加速电动汽车 (EV) 和固定电池储能系统在城市和北部/偏远原住民社区环境中的大规模生产和采用。然而，这些依赖于热的核心电气化技术仍然需要在电池组、充电器、电动机和热管理策略方面进行变革性开发，以提高其可靠性、性能和安全性。 NSERC CREATE 电气化技术热管理 (TherMET) 旨在通过在整体组件到系统培训范围内建立核心电气化技术先进热管理的开创性且可持续的培训计划来应对这些挑战。 TherMET 提供 12 个综合培训内容，增强学员的跨学科技术和专业技能，增强他们的学术界与工业界合作、流动性和就业准备的机会。 TherMET 的多学科/多机构/多部门团队包括来自工业界、学术界、加拿大/美国国家实验室、交通和公用事业联盟、地区和市政府以及原住民社区的 10 名教授和 21 名合作者。我们将培训和指导加拿大未来的领导者掌握核心电气化技术，从而生产更热安全、更轻、更耐用和环保的电池和电动汽车。凭借加拿大强有力的政策、汽车行业向电气化转型的公司计划，以及我们年轻一代对电动未来的拥抱，TherMET 将培养下一代专业人士和领导者，灌输人才和技能，以推进适合极端环境的热管理创新。冷/热气候，并就影响这些核心电气化技术的环境和社会问题采取行动。
