  • Description: [Paprican]'s collaborative programs with the three universities offer post-graduate teaching and research in pulp and paper science and engineering. Paprican contributes to the operation of the programs largely through staff located on campus. The university partners also contribute through faculty having pulp and paper interests, and through their contributions towards physical facilities. Some support also comes directly from the governments of British Columbia and Quebec. The federal government contributes largely through research funding by its granting agencies. Paprican supports two NSERC university chairs at Ecole Polytechnique -- one on the surface treatment of paper and one on process integration. The intent is to cover coating technology and systems engineering. Planning is underway at Ecole Polytechnique to increase the number of courses in pulp and paper and to integrate them with the Masters program at McGill University. "There are presently several courses given at both," said Theo van de Ven, director of McGill's Centre, and in the case of the process control and process design courses, the lectures are presently given at McGill by Ecole Polytechnique professors. "We want to get Ecole Polytechnique more involved on an equal partner basis," said van de Ven. To complement the teaching programs in the university centres, Paprican also looks at continuing education opportunities for industry using its Institute research staff. A survey done by Paprican in the summer of 1998, according to Richard Kerekes, director of the Pulp and Paper Centre at UBC, showed that there was growing demand for shorter courses with flexible schedules for a busy workforce wanting to upgrade its skills. To meet this need, Paprican offers a number of professional development short courses each year:
