This study explores the perspectives of Canadians, including equity-deserving groups on artificial intelligence (AI). Underrepresented groups, who are not consulted enough in policymaking due to inequality, are given a platform through this study to share their insights. The goal is to provide inclusive practices in the development, regulation and use of AI. Participants from diverse […]

In recent years, the use of insects as feed has gained attention for its potential to tackle environmental, economic, and ethical challenges in traditional feed production. The black soldier fly (BSF) is a key focus due to its potential in creating a circular economy, particularly in waste management and protein production. Improving the breeding conditions […]

Portfolio optimization is pivotal in the financial domain, aiming to allocate assets to maximize returns and minimize risk. Conventional optimization techniques often fall short due to the financial markets’ intricate nature, the optimization landscape’s non-convexity, and the vastness of possible portfolios. This project introduces a novel approach by integrating quantum-inspired methods with machine learning techniques […]

This project will develop, test and then apply new mass spectrometry (MS) methods of measuring radionuclides and their decay products. This approach will provide rapid and economic measures of radionuclides that are important in human health and environmental protection nuclear facilities. We will work closely with our partners to ensure that the methods are validated […]

Par la mise en place de nouveaux écosystèmes de technologies hautement innovantes, tout en tenant compte des besoins humains, Numana veut initier de nouveaux créneaux de développement économiques au Québec.

Le projet CANberries développe et intègre des technologies agrivoltaïques et thermiques (pompe à chaleur, biomasse, stockage thermique et aérogéothermie) dans une serre solaire passive pour produire des framboises biologiques pendant 9 mois de l’année, d’octobre à juin. Chaque sous-composant cible un défi spécifique et fonctionne en symbiose: conditions de croissance optimales, faible consommation d’énergie, gestion […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project aims to address the growing global issue of managing dredged materials (DMs), which are generated as waste during maintenance activities for navigable areas. With the evolution of the regulation, finding alternative ways to remediate DMs has become crucial. Simultaneously, the construction industry is experiencing a surge in demand for raw materials to produce […]

Ce projet de recherche permettra à trois étudiants de maîtrise du programme d’ethnologie et de patrimoine de l’Université Laval de réaliser des stages dans une entreprise privée spécialisée dans la médiation du patrimoine à l’aide des nouvelles technologies, Idéeclic (Gatineau), qui oeuvre dans ce domaine depuis plus de 18 ans. Ils travailleront sur le développement […]

(UAV) and a network of ground/aerial control stations for long range communications to connect various remote places of Northern Canada. The main goal of this project is to design, test and implement a robust communication subsystem for such a vehicle to maintain a long range communication with a required data throughput. Most of the civilian […]

The financial investment practices of Canadian foundations impacts Canada’s economy and the social wellbeing of its citizens. However, reporting measures for investment portfolios are not regulated or required by the Canadian Federal Government and the lack of data means a lack of transparency for organizations serving the public good. This research aims to document and […]
