Ce projet de collaboration de recherche entre l’Université Laval (ULaval) et l’Université de Lausanne (UNIL) vise d’une part à réunir des acteurs de la santé communautaire, de l’urbanisme et du monde académique, des villes de Québec et de Lausanne pour initier une réflexion sur les possibilités de convergences et de collaborations entre les deux secteurs; […]

Développer un modèle bioéconomique pour la durabilité de la filière bovine au Québec

The hydroxy group (–OH) is well represented in organic chemistry and is present in 37% of commercial therapeutics, 69% of natural products and numerous biomasses. Despite their ubiquitous nature, the development of methods to directly transform hydroxy groups in a mild and less wasteful way has been seriously neglected. This, therefore, pushes for a method […]

Ce projet vise à développer des outils de formation sur les risques à la santé et les mesures de prévention prometteuses à l’intention des producteurs agricoles et des intervenants en santé au travail. Les risques à la santé considérés dans ce projet sont de diverses natures : physiques, chimiques, biologiques et psychosociaux. Pour la réalisation […]

Participatory community development research alongside Garden Hill First Nation (FN), Wasagamack FN and other East-side FN community members is the focus of this Mitacs research. Student interns will assist in recording each community’s traditional land use through maps, videos, interviews, development of plans and branding. A geographical information system will allow an analysis of different […]

There are however, a range of GCMs, future climate scenarios and downscalingtechniques that can be used and each yields different results. Due to this uncertainty, itis regarded as best-practice to use a collection of individual projections to develop“ranges” that characterize future climate conditions. The aim of this internship is toconduct this analysis for the variables […]

Dans l’urgence climatique à laquelle nous faisons face depuis plusieurs années, de nombreux sujets de recherche ont émergé dans le but de réduire l’impact environnemental du monde industriel. Une des principales motivations de ces récentes avancées concerne la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) par leur recyclage ou transformation. Dans ce […]

This project focuses on preparing photoelectrodes by designing molecular dye sensitizers, nanostructured substrates, integrating them and finally characterizing the photoelectrochemical properties of the photoelectrode under low-light conditions. By developing and optimizing the design of the photoelectrode, the project aims to enhance solar to chemical energy conversion processes for green fuel or high-added value products. The […]

The Occupant-Centric Low-Energy Design Solutions for High-Rise Social Apartments in Ho Chi Minh City project seeks to improve energy efficiency in high-rise apartments by understanding and integrating the daily behaviors and preferences of residents. The objectives of the research include: – Develop a set of criteria for evaluating energy efficiency that aligns with user behavior […]

This project focuses on synthesizing a new class of conjugated polymers incorporating stable, quinoidal units that enhance electronic properties, targeting applications in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic solar cells, and organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). By designing polymers that feature reduced bond-length alternation, these materials exhibit lower band gaps and high charge carrier mobilities, essential for […]

The aquaculture industry at the Mekong Delta plays a major role in the Vietnam’s export economy since it serves as a key supplier of seafood to global markets. However, the water quality in fish and shrimp ponds in the region often contains high concentrations of contaminants, which negatively impact product quality by affecting the health […]

Sustainable institutions have established a strong market reputation and demonstrate significant growth potential. Their primary focus has shifted from profitability to sustainability. CEOs of these organizations believe that achieving market growth requires implementing eco-friendly and transparent practices. Furthermore, companies have collectively raised public awareness about the necessary actions and current efforts to promote a healthier […]
