Civonus Inc. is developing an internet based, transparent, asynchronous policy-making process for governments, public institutions, and civil society organizations/consultants who advise governments on policy issues, to use to improve their policy-making process. It is curated to produce deeply engaging, consensual, sustainable, equitable, inclusive, strategic, evidence informed policy-making. This project is to develop, in stages, MVP, […]

Propel Impact will be working with Mitacs interns across two universities to support social innovation and impact investing organizations in Canada.

Dans le cadre du développement de son offre de services, ADDERE Service-conseil veut élaborer un parcours structuré d’accompagnement en changements climatiques sous forme de cohorte pour les entreprises, le tout dans le but d’accélérer la transition carbone des entreprises au Québec. ADDERE Service-conseil préfère travailler en cohorte (groupe d’entreprises) car cela mousse la motivation des […]

The state-of-the-art of building energy management systems uses model predictive control to compare alternative control strategies prior to implementation. Climate conditions dramatically influence the control strategy selection. These rely on conventional climate forecasting that provides coarse resolution with respect to both time and space (e.g. 1 hour, 50 km). The industrial partner Green Power Labs […]

Mitacs Accelerate has funded the first year of the Precast Design Studio. In this second and third year, the Mitacs intern, Chadia Uwamahoro, will conduct experiments on conventional horizontal connections to understand their cyclic behavior. The test setup and the experimental data will advance the scientific knowledge on the cyclic response of precast concrete shear […]

Ce projet a pour but d’améliorer le contrôle de qualité et l’entretien des gros équipements de production d’énergie électrique, soit les grands hydro-alternateurs. Une des parties problématiques de ces équipements est l’enroulement situé dans la partie fixe de la machine, soit le stator. Ce dernier est en effet soumis à des importantes contraintes électriques, mécaniques […]

Hydro-Québec has found that welding flaws induced during the manufacturing of hydraulic turbine runners are prone to fatigue damage. To avoid catastrophic failure, they developed a life estimation model that relies on flaw detection and sizing through non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection procedures. Probability of detection (POD) gives the probability or likelihood that a flaw of […]

The Nashwaak Watershed Association Inc. (NWAI) was founded in 1995 as a non-profit organization dedicated to promote, conserve, and restore the Nashwaak ecosystem by using science-based methods, community collaboration, and advocacy for the watershed and its inhabitants. The organization’s vision is to see “people caring for a clean, healthy, and beautiful Nashwaak River watershed that […]

Organizations are trying to manage their waste streams using circular economy principles to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Without proper assessment, organizations that follow a standard waste hierarchy often lack proper awareness and understanding about the amount of GHG emissions individual options actually reduce. They can use sophisticated (and systems thinking) approaches such as life […]

The purpose of this research project is to optimize a magnetic resonance technique designed to measure myelin in brain and spine. This technique holds great promise for diagnosis and management of neurodegenerative diseases as well as abnormal brain development. The finalgoal ofthe project is to have a magnetic resonance protocol which could be offered as […]
