Celebrating 1,500 interns in 2018 and 20 years together— UBC-Mitacs partnership continues to drive innovation and improve lives

Mitacs supports USask team developing unique harness to help save injured horses

Partnership with University of Regina researchers leverages technology to enhance worker safety

Waterloo start-up, Kiite, wants to know if you would trust a robot.

Winnipeg-based Cypher Environmental is determined to put an end to the choking dust clouds on unpaved roads seen every day across rural and Northern Manitoba.

Now, a new local resource — college research interns — combined with modern technology, will help Anaconda drill into a new solution for developing the placer mine.

EMBC turned to Mitacs’s Canadian Science Policy Fellowship to find expertise for the project. The fellowship provides access to highly qualified PhDs from across the country, and it enabled EMBC to build a catalogue of recommended earthquake early warning response actions.

Dr. Christina Gonzalez can detect explosives with a single piece of paper. But, until recently, Christina’s idea had been largely relegated to the pages of her PhD thesis and she’d since moved on to start teaching.

Research is essential in the natural products space, where consumers need evidence that products are effective and safe. But for a small company, doing research isn’t simple.

An autonomous intelligence system is helping seniors stay safe both at home and in care facilities, thanks to a collaboration between University of Alberta computing scientists and software technology company Spxtrm AI.

Quebec-based OPAL-RT Technologies knows how to simulate new technology. They’re a leader in real-time computer simulations to support global manufacturers of vehicles, airplanes, and electric power infrastructure.

“Mitacs was crucial,” says Norman. “It’s been a terrific springboard for us that has allowed us to fund the development of the prototype, backed by the expertise of Dr. Ahmadi and his team."
