34. Some general issues • Academic model Issues(many lone PI “traditional” proposals still with an over emphasis on Masters students-DG model). • Industrial coFunding level issues(few significant industrial cofunders and many applicants seem reluctant to pursue funds while industry is less than proactive in supporting in some cases). • Innovation process issues(need to develop a stronger innovation culture in Canadian Universities and business) • Inter university communication and inefficiency issues

48. Key questions for us all! • How do we change the culture in industry and academia to become more effective in collaboration and delivery of technology and policy? • How do technology focussed academics get involved with industry? • How do we get industry and investors to make serious investments in CMC and technology? • How do we form stable linkages to demonstration projects? • How do we optimally use our resources to engender spinoffs, train staff and develop technology and policy? • How do we get students and postdocs active in spinout generation (Technology scholarships?) • What should our next call for proposals look like-what targets? • How do we engage at a global level with other similar organisations? • How do we maintain our credibility? • How do we revise strategy and improve quality control on our research program ? • What should the balance of basic research versus applied research be? • How do we link carbon capture and storage research? • How do we link technical and social science research • How do we improve our linkages to renewable energy research, biocharand other relevant sectors?

49. Show stoppers in Carbon Management • No game-changing technology • No social engagement or mandate to deploy technologies at large scale(e.g. Public concern about CCS) • Insufficient trained staff to deploy solutions at large scale
