Breakthrough approach ‘grows’ colour to produce natural colours for the textile industry, removing environmental hazards traditionally associated with the sector

Mitacs is supporting student researchers and promoting lasting innovation through its Scotiabank Economic Resilience Research Fund, an initiative launched as part of the ScotiaRISE program.

When a routine survey showed an increase in dangerous behaviours at home during the pandemic, Kingston researcher Maude Champagne decided to act. Her response is bringing three new innovations to the caregiver community

The Arctic Research Foundation is doing things differently to help empower Inuit communities to take the lead in determining and directing projects that address their most pressing challenges

Petroleum-contaminated sites, such as old gas stations, number in the thousands across Canada. Postdoctoral researcher Courtney Toth helped develop a natural and affordable solution to tackle the problem.

Ontario start-up builds and commercializes tools based on classical quantum information theory to ensure the highest level of security and communication over public and private networks, paving the way for the future quantum Internet

A partnership between Mitacs and Mental Health Research Canada is addressing the mental health challenges of Canadians, almost a quarter of whom report feeling anxious or depressed as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

When it comes to finding cures for rare diseases and addressing emerging viral infections — like COVID-19 — the traditional pharmaceutical business model just doesn’t cut it. Solutions require global collaboration and open-access research, and that means a new research innovation ecosystem — exactly what the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) is building.

Dr. Seyyedarash Haddadi developed a novel, low-cost compound — made from a graphene oxide-silver combination — that can be used as part of a coating material for masks; this material makes them 99.99 percent effective against transmission of COVID-19.

A Mitacs Globalink Research Award researcher from U of T wins Mitacs Award for original research on the Bohemian court and monarchy, illuminating the important role of medieval queens and their often overlooked yet significant contributions to politics and culture.

Small business entrepreneur and postdoctoral fellow at University of Waterloo uses machine learning to develop first-of-its-kind technology that has the potential to fight aquaculture’s problem with harmful algae blooms, which injure fish.

A Mitacs Globalink research intern from Germany works with the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing to investigate how to control quantum systems that have multiple states, and to understand the impact for real-life solutions.
