Archives can be powerful tools for decision-making, and reconnecting with one’s heritage, community, and history. However, archives also have a long history of reinforcing harmful stereotypes of Indigenous peoples through the inappropriate and inaccurate labeling, classification, and arrangement of materials. Alternatively, community archives (i.e., archives controlled, developed, and managed by a community, instead of a […]

The intern will work with Kwusen Research & Media, a consulting company based in Victoria, B.C., to conduct an assessment of Kwusen’s research approaches and software. Kwusen works closely with Indigenous communities across western Canada to provide up-to-date and accurate information about their lands and resources, as well as any potential impacts to these resources […]

The overall objective of this project is to develop a medical device that stimulates the vagus nerve in order to modulate the heart in a pre-determined fashion (e.g., strategically speeding it up or slowing it down) without also triggering side effects in other body systems (such as respiration). The interns will be working in partnership […]

When experiencing mental health crisis, many people rely on emergency services such as 9-1-1 dispatchers, paramedic services, police services and hospital emergency department services. Emergency response to mental health calls has recently gained significantly greater attention, recognizing that these interactions may have substantial, potentially life and death consequences for those already in distress, particularly for […]

Le projet vise a moderniser et ameliorer les outils numeriques utilises par Hydro-Quebec pour prevoir la demande en electricite au Quebec et mettre en ceuvre des strategies d’autocorrection. Les developpements attendus permettront d’augmenter la capacite de maintenance et d’amelioration de ces outils par Hydro-Quebec, et de les rendre plus efficaces. Hydro-Quebec sera ainsi plus à […]

En se déplaçant, les animaux, et autres organismes vivants, laissent des traces de leur matériel génétique dans l’environnement. Cette précieuse information est l’ADN environnemental (ADNe) et son analyse permet de détecter indirectement la présence d’une espèce et d’estimer son abondance relative dans un milieu. Ce matériel génétique peut se retrouver sous forme de cellules mortes […]

Small nuclear reactors (SMRs) are a major option for electricity production in remote areas. Environmental impact assessment and monitoring will be needed, however this might be difficult because of the remoteness and the anticipated low levels of radiocontaminants, especially that laboratories with modern instrumentation might not be available on-site. We are proposing (1) to adapt […]

The insurance industry is a competitive sector that is expected to account for 3.1 percent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product in 2021. Leading insurers are investigating how machine learning (ML) may enhance company operations and customer satisfaction as clients become more selective about personalizing their insurance purchases to their particular needs. AI chatbots have the […]

A series of pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) tests and large-scale physical experiments of the hybrid solvent-enhanced SAGD process will be carried out and simulated to better understand the process physics and bitumen recovery mechanisms, which will help Imperial make reliable predictions with the upscaling potential for quickly commercial field applications. This project will be conducted both in […]

Lytehorse has designed an electric, stand-up riding, all-terrain vehicle that is quiet and minimizes its ecological footprint. This sustainable and powerful mode of transportation has diverse applications attracting customers from military, recreational and other industrial fields. The team has already established a network to source parts, customize component manufacturing and is currently embarking on small […]

Ce projet répond à une préoccupation majeure de toutes les communautés, notamment celles installées sur les bassins versants agricoles relativement à la qualité des eaux de surface accueillant des eaux de ruissellement en provenance des champs. Le niveau de pollution générée est préoccupant et des actions doivent être entreprises pour limiter l’accès des sédiments et […]

Ce projet vise à promouvoir les interprètes et les enregistrements de musiques classiques produits au Canada, par la création de partitions numériques codées. Le projet sera l’occasion de mettre en exergue des oeuvres musicales qui susciteront le développement musical des jeunes enfants en participant à une expérience ludique enrichissante par l’entremise de la technologie.
