Under the Fisheries Resource Reconciliation Agreement, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and eight First Nations are working to build consensus in joint-recommendations and decisions regarding fisheries resources in areas of the BC coast. This project contributes to best practices from other Nation-Crown decision-making processes to help us build an informed process to reach […]

Ce projet de recherche consiste en l’étude de l’utilisation de poudrette de caoutchouc recyclés traités pour amélioration du comportant des enrobés bitumineux. L’utilisation de la poudrette de caoutchouc devrait permettre une amélioration du comportement à chaud et à froid des enrobés tout en diminuant la quantité de bitume d’apport, ce qui est très intéressant sur […]

The principal objective of the MITACS internship project is to develop immersive audio environments to be utilized, evaluated, and studied by the community involved in the “Sensing Differently” SSHRC project, including participants and co-researchers. It will involve designing custom tools for incorporating immersive audio recordings into ethnographic research contexts. These tools will enable “Sensing Differently” […]

This research project aims to understand and improve leadership in Canadian healthcare organizations. Over the next five years, many healthcare leaders are expected to retire, creating a need for new leaders who are well-prepared to handle the challenges of a rapidly changing healthcare system. The project will use surveys and focus groups to gather insights […]

Mesurer et divulguer sur la durabilité des activités est une tendance croissante chez les grandes entreprises, qui cherchent à obtenir le soutien des investisseurs en faisant preuve de transparence et d’engagement envers les sphères environnementale, sociale et de gouvernance (ESG). En fait, les risques associés à ces dimensions peuvent se matérialiser en pénalités financières. Les […]

The GRAME is currently conducting an extensive opportunity study to highlight the potential role of trams in the movement of people and goods within the Greater Montreal Area. Through this project, it has collaborated with Coop Carbone and GoMove to assess the potential for parcel distribution via a possible pan-Montreal tram network. According to modeling, […]

Scotiabank’s Global AI & ML (GAIML) – Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) Team has built AIDOX, an AI-powered document understanding platform that processes thousands of emails and documents daily. The current system uses fine-tuned language models for tasks like document classification, OCR, key data extraction, and entity resolution. However, the increasing complexity of financial documents requires […]

The intern will familiarize himself with the official dust dispersion model (AERMOD) and the innovative dust mapping technology from the partner organization to combine them in a future project. This combination is expected to provide new capabilities to the industry by providing the visualization of its dust emissions in 3D over large areas. This will […]

Despite being the world’s third-largest raspberry importer, Canada faces challenges like high local wholesale prices, erratic climate, pest issues, and labor costs. This project offers a breakthrough solution—an innovative, scalable indoor farm—to address these issues. The goal is to create a cutting-edge platform that overcomes horticultural challenges, empowers future growers, and transforms Canadian indoor farming […]

Building materials made from bio-based feedstock such as biochar requires less embodied energy and has carbon sequestration capacity. Their use in construction reduces the overall Global Warming Potential (GWP) of building materials, facilitates environmental repair, and reduces climate impacts from environmentally intensive industry sectors such as agriculture and aquaculture. Bio-based composites are typically low in […]

The objective of the proposed research is to design and implement an innovative IBI scheme capable of minimizing basis risk. Forage insurance will be used as an example to empirically examine the effective implementation of the IBI, through establishing an adequate relationship between the weather index and forage yield. Therefore, a second objective of the […]

This project aims to improve a tool that helps doctors detect rare diseases by making it easier to find important information in patient records. The intern will work on creating a system that uses advanced computer models to organize and retrieve data from electronic medical records (EMR). By doing this, the tool will become more […]
