Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

The latest developments in advanced smart energy technologies will be front and centre this summer at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT).

UOIT will host engineers and researchers from around the world August 11 to 13 as the faculties of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science (FESNS) and Engineering and Applied Science (FEAS) stage the annual International Conference on Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE’14).

“SEGE provides a forum for researchers from academia and industry to explore and discuss new methods related to energy grids, and the integration of smart energy with transportation,” said Dr. Hossam Gaber, SEGE Chair and Founder, and an Associate Professor cross-appointed to FESNS and FEAS. “We expect SEGE will attract more than 100 new research papers and top international speakers. There will also be an innovation competition for student engineers.”

SEGE will explore key areas such as:

  • energy conservation, efficiency and management policy
  • gas-power systems
  • grid modelling and simulation
  • high-performance power grid
  • hydrogen (clean energy research)
  • information, security, and communications
  • natural gas grids
  • power electronics
  • renewable energy integration
  • smart grid infrastructures
  • sustainable fuel
  • thermal networks
  • transportation (including electric vehicle, natural gas vehicle, fuel cell vehicle)
