Chief Jim Boucher *Not intended for public distribution or for citation* 4th Annual REDEVELOP Challenge ∙ May 10 - 12, 2021 3 Welcome On behalf of our interdisciplinary team from the Universities of Calgary, Alberta, Toronto, Waterloo, and Western Ontario, I am pleased to welcome you to our 4th annual REDEVELOP Challenge. This is our 2nd conference using a virtual platform in this time of change in the energy-sector and during a global pandemic. REDEVELOP brings people together to work across disciplines, distance and cultures. Our collaborators from industry, government and Indigenous communities may have noticed that we rebranded last year, from a focus on the responsible development of low-permeability hydrocarbon resources to that of low-carbon energy resources; an adaptation to change. This week, you will hear from four innovative, multi-university teams of graduate students who will ask you to consider how this next generation of science, engineering and policy leaders will think about energy. Since 2017, we have trained 83 students at the graduate and undergraduate levels. REDEVELOP training is based on effective communication and holistic problem-solving using a range of tools. Communication can take many forms. This week, 20 graduate students will demonstrate their ability to deliver scientific and socio-economic facts, as well as cultural and political views, to a range of audiences. They will do this effectively using verbal, written, pictorial and animated platforms. In order to achieve these skillsets, they have undergone not only technical training, but also industrial- organization psychology and Indigenous relations and engagement. To date, 30 REDEVELOP grads have completed their academic programs and are working in their chosen field in Canada and around the world. Four have gone on to doctoral studies. Fifty have completed internships and more than 50 have published peer-reviewed journal articles. The significance of internships can be hands-on experience and jobs after graduation, while publications are the path to sharing knowledge and changing the world. I would like to express our sincere thanks to the many industry and government collaborators and Indigenous elders who showed outstanding support and patience in their mentorship of this year's teams.
