Galleries Ontario

As a subsector within the creative industries, art galleries have been particularly hard hit by COVID-19 and subsequent repercussions related to stay at home orders and social distancing measures to control the spread of the disease. With this project, we will be addressing challenges related to the recovery of the art galleries industry in the short and medium-term, as well as exploring sustainable hybrid solutions for the long term. The student will be developing digital transformation strategies that integrate digital tools or solutions in a meaningful and purposeful way, in order to satisfy the needs and desires of audiences and customers, and so that the organization and others like it can sustainably weather future crises. This iterative development work will take into account audience experience, collective experience, participation and intimacy, core aspects of the public experience of cultural offerings.

The Children’s Link Society – Marketing & Branding Coordinator (2)

The intern would be responsible for analyzing and executing different semi-developed revenue generating projects. These initiatives would help Children’s Link become financially prominent and meet the needs of families who care for children with disabilities. Potential projects include: developing effective marketing strategies to increase website traffic, including guiding social media content and assisting with written and visual web content; building relationships with sponsors and brand partners to leverage traffic and increase website based ad revenue; optimizing video-streaming technologies to better connect partner messages with audiences; significantly increasing the scale of various local 3rd party business offerings; and identifying sponsors who share core values to support client-centered events. The intern would work with the Director of Operations to develop measurable outcomes for all initiatives and the intern play a key role in helping Children’s Link cultivate financial strength and operational excellence. Lived experience with disability is an asset, as are strong logistical, organizational, creative, critical thinking, communication, and interpersonal skills. These projects command a passion for community development, anti-oppressive practice, business development, empathy, teamwork, and storytelling.

Primeau Inc. – Executive Apprentice

As this project is an extension for a successful Fall 2020 and Winter 2021 MBSI participant, the work in the spring/summer term will be an extension of multiple current projects, such as: analyzing and improving IMPACT Society’s overall IT strategy, integrating a newly designed website with IMPACT Society’s CRM, managing IMPACT’s grant-writing process, and the development of a new revenue generating retreat program. For Goodpin, the intern will continue to develop successful landing pages and design marketing campaigns for charities running large corporate giving campaigns. The benefit to IMPACT Society will be a full overhaul of the current IT strategy, making it easier to track program delivery and sales data in a growing charity. IMPACT will also benefit financially from fundraising activities undertaken by the intern, and the retreat program designed by the intern will be repeatable and scalable, resulting in opportunities for sustainable growth. Goodpin will benefit by having increased capacity to onboard new clients and design new campaigns for existing clients.

City of Regina BSI Project

Through this Mitacs Internship, the City of Regina, members of Regina’s performing arts community and researchers from the University of Regina are combining forces to cultivate a post-COVID climate for creative work in the city that gives them a viable livelihood and maximizes the benefits they offer to the community. The specific focus of this internship is to create, in partnership with the City of Regina and under the supervision of a faculty member of the University of Regina, a data base of local spaces that might be viable for rehearsal, performance, administration and digital dissemination of performance work in both the short and long term.

Moment Connections to RHS Columns

The proposed research aims to demonstrate the performance of effective, non-proprietary moment connections for wide-flange (W-) beams to rectangular hollow section (RHS) columns in limited-ductility (Type LD) moment resisting frames (MRFs) that are easy and cost-effective to fabricate, handle, and erect. Two W-beam-to-RHS column moment connection prototypes will be developed and tested, in duplicate, at full-scale. It is anticipated that testing will demonstrate the W-beam-to-RHS column prototype connections conform with the Canadian steel design code. As a result, this research will provide economical new options for connecting W-beams to RHS columns in Type LD MRFs, which will benefit designers.

Smart Dashboard for Sustainable Destination Decision Making Part 2

Destinations have quickly become victims of their own success. Destination Management Organisations (DMO’s) worldwide are making a much needed shift towards the inclusion of management alongside their marketing priorities for destination management, but are often ill equipped. There is a current gap in the marketplace for useful, comprehensive and user-friendly tools to assist them. This project will create a tool to access the information Ottawa Tourism needs, creating a tool that will be the first data driven tool to combat overtourism, improve resident sentiment, improve efficiency of resources and planning, increase destination revenue and overhead and improve overall destination health.

Machine Learning for dynamic microscopic imaging

In the proposed exchange project, we plan to develop a new collaborative partnership that integrates the expertise of advanced optical imaging instrumentation (McMaster: Fang) and image sequence analysis (INRIA: Kervrann) towards new dynamic imaging technologies. Specifically, we are interested in optofluidics imaging flowcytometers for point-of-care infectious diseases diagnosis as well as high throughput protein-protein interaction measurements in live cell imaging. A key novelty of this project is, instead of relying static 2D images and morphological features, we acquire 3D videos of the particulates in the flow and use motion analysis to perform detection and classification. The bilateral exchange allows the Canadian student to learn advanced AI based image sequence analysis for better optimization of the instrumentation design. It would also allow the French student to get expose to new microscopy instrumentation technologies that may lead t new computation algorithms for such systems.
