A review is underway to determine how Minerva’s inventory of 47 case studies can be used to promote a new case study competition in 2023 for post secondary students in Canada. More information will be available this Fall.
In 2016, Minerva Canada partnered with the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada, the Canadian Society of Chemical Engineering and the University of Waterloo Cases in Design Engineering group in establishing the Minerva-CIAC Responsible Care case study competition.
