The Network
Structure > Project Committees
The Project Committees elaborate and conduct projects; suggest project modifications to the Research Management Committee; report progress to the Research Management Committee in the form of written and oral presentations; propose students that could benefit from internship support available through NSERC HydroNet; encourage students to participate to the Annual Symposium of NSERC HydroNet.
The Project Committees is composed of the project researchers leaders, participants, and collaborators of individual research projects.
