Publicité Durable : Explorer les pratiques responsables à travers la chaîne de valeur publicitaire.

Le projet vise à aider les entreprises, les médias et les agences à éviter les communications trompeuses sur les enjeux environnementaux, aussi appelées écoblanchiment. En collaboration avec l’organisme Masse Critique, la stagiaire participera à la création d’un processus rapide (moins de 24 heures) permettant d’identifier et de corriger les publicités à risque avant leur diffusion. Ce processus inclura des critères liés au message, mais aussi à la stratégie numérique dans son ensemble (choix des canaux, ciblage, impact énergétique, etc.). Le projet sera testé dans un cadre pilote avec des partenaires. Il contribuera à poser les bases d’un futur système québécois d’autorégulation publicitaire en matière environnementale. Pour l’organisation partenaire, ce projet représente une occasion stratégique de structurer un nouveau service à valeur ajoutée, tout en renforçant son positionnement comme leader en communication responsable.

Acoustic Feature Extraction and Sparse Representation of Neck Fluid Volume (NFV) in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in 10% of adults and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, there is a 3-fold increase in OSA prevalence in fluid retaining patients such as those with heart failure. Evolving evidence suggests that fluid accumulation in the neck could narrow the upper airway (UA), increase its collapsibility, and contribute to OSA worsening. For this reason, we aim to determine whether: analysis of respiratory sounds can be used as a non-invasive technique to estimate neck fluid volume (NFV), respiratory sound analysis could predict variations in NFV due to fluid overloading, and the developed techniques could be used to investigate the role of increased NFV on the pathophysiology of OSA in patients with heart failure. The proposed
algorithms could lead to developing novel acoustic techniques to assess and alleviate the adverse effects of fluid accumulation in the neck on the pathophysiology of OSA.

Contribution de l’économie sociale au développement régional en Outaouais

Ce projet cherche à mieux comprendre la contribution de l’économie sociale au développement de la région de l’Outaouais dans les quinze dernières années. NOus prenons comme point de départ, la fondation de la Laiterie de l’Outaouais, un projet emblématique porté par une mobilisation sans précédent des divers acteurs de la région pour ensuite voir l’évolution du rôle des acteurs dans le cadre d’un écosystème régional. Le portrait de cet écosystème régional se fera à partir d’entrevues avec des acteurs clés et une analyse documentaire sur les 15 ans depuis la fondation de la Laiterie de l’Outaouais. Les résultats de cette enquête permettra de tracer les contours d’un modèle de développement régional et territorial qui reste méconnu et peu documenté par les recherches sur la région de l’Outaouais.

Lexical Development in Multilingual Immigrant Children: Cognitive and Sociocultural Influences on English Vocabulary Acquisition

This project explores how multilingual immigrant children aged 8–13 in Canadian ESL support programs acquire English vocabulary during their early years of settlement. Vocabulary development is crucial for academic success, yet many newcomer children face barriers that go beyond language exposure alone. The research investigates how cognitive factors, such as working memory and phonological processing, interact with sociocultural influences, including parental education, home language use, and quality of instruction. It aims to explain individual differences in vocabulary outcomes, even among children from similar socioeconomic backgrounds. By integrating quantitative and qualitative methods, the study will also explore how informal knowledge (e.g., storytelling, community literacy practices) and emotional experiences impact vocabulary learning. This fills a gap in current Canadian research, which rarely examines how these variables operate together in real ESL classrooms. The findings will inform differentiated instruction and culturally responsive practices, supporting educators in addressing the diverse needs of newcomer students. In a multilingual country like Canada, where one in four school-aged children speaks a non-English language at home, this project will contribute to equitable, evidence-based education policy and improved outcomes for immigrant learners.

Greycor Projects Ltd.

Greycor Projects Ltd. is a dynamic residential construction company that specializes in crafting custom homes designed to meet the evolving needs of clients across urban and rural landscapes. As Greycor continues to expand its operations and manage increasingly complex projects, the organization has identified a critical need to innovate its administrative and financial management processes. Currently, data entry, accounts tracking, and reporting are performed using conventional methods that are functional but not optimized for scalability or efficiency. This creates challenges in maintaining real-time oversight of financial health, project metrics, and operational workflows—especially as the company grows and takes on larger, more diverse projects.
The innovation priority for Greycor is to design and implement administrative systems and tools that will transform how financial and operational data is collected, organized, and utilized. This project will go beyond routine tasks by introducing creative solutions for streamlining workflows, automating reporting processes, and improving accuracy in financial tracking. For example, developing improved spreadsheet models, refining QuickBooks Online usage, and identifying process gaps will allow Greycor to reduce manual workload and enable data-driven decision-making. These innovations will not only improve internal efficiency but also position the company to better serve its clients and adapt to future business demands.

Guiding delisting decisions in the Great Lakes area: Development of a Bayesian network modeling framework for predicting eutrophication in the Bay of Quinte – Year 2

The Bay of Quinte, a Z-shaped embayment at the northeastern end of Lake Ontario, represents a characteristic case, where scientific uncertainty underlies the current management efforts to integrate environmental concerns with socioeconomic values. The proposed project aims to develop a methodological tool that can be easily engaged with the policy practice of adaptive management and to illustrate the ability of this framework to update and improve model predictions and management actions. The project design is perfectly tailored to dictate the Best Management Practices that would lead to significant reduction of phosphorus export from the Bay of Quinte watershed and to evaluate the uncertainty associated with the assessment of the Beneficial Use Impairment “Eutrophication and Undesirable Algae”. The proposed research will be a reference point of how rational modelling and empirical knowledge can be used to guide system restoration and spark collaboration with the industry for future green initiatives.

Common Risk Factors in the Stablecoin Market

This project focuses on understanding what makes the prices of stablecoins (a type of cryptocurrency designed to stay stable) go up or down. Traditional financial models don’t fully explain how these digital assets behave, especially during market changes or when new regulations are introduced. By studying both general market trends and specific factors like liquidity, issuer trust, and new laws like the MiCA regulation in Europe, this research aims to create a better tool for evaluating stablecoin risks. The expected benefit to the participating institutions is the opportunity to strengthen international research collaboration, share advanced expertise in digital finance, and enhance their reputation as leaders in innovative financial research.
