Recherche exploratoire sur les modèles innovants en agriculture appliquée au contexte de Saint-Camille.

L’agriculture conventionnelle présente plusieurs problèmes. Pour arriver à la transformer, il faut expérimenter des modalités alternatives. Un motel agricole est l’une de ces modalités. Elle permet de louer des terres sur petites
parcelles à différents agriculteurs qui bénéficient également d’équipements et de bâtiments mis en commun.
Dans le village de Saint-Camille, l’idée intéresse certains leaders de la communauté. Le village compte sur des atouts qui semblent favoriser ce type de structure. Entre autres, la municipalité aura accès à une terre et les agriculteurs pourraient utiliser un centre de transformation du petit fruit. Avant d’implanter le projet, les différentes parties prenantes souhaitent s’assurer que la viabilité d’un tel modèle soit réelle. Cette recherche permettra de répertorier des initiatives similaires afin d’analyser les obstacles potentiels et d’émettre des recommandations, en
plus de permettre de mesurer le niveau de désirabilité d’un ou plusieurs scénarios envisagés auprès de la clientèle cible.

Projet ESG

Notre recherche s’intéresse aux impacts sur la performance des projets suite à l’intégration des critères ESG (Environnement, Social et Gouvernance) au processus de gestion de grands projets d’infrastructure. Dû aux pressions exercées par les investisseurs, l’intégration des critères ESG et leur divulgation par les firmes sont devenues des incontournables. Ces grands projets d’infrastructure sont complexes et génèrent des impacts environnementaux et sociaux positifs et négatifs importants. Vu leur complexité, ils présentent également des défis de gouvernance et de transparence tout au long du cycle de vie. Aussi, ce projet de recherche répondra à la question suivante : Quel est l’impact sur la performance des grands projets d’infrastructure de l’intégration des critères ESG tout au long du cycle de vie des grands projets d’infrastructure? Pour répondre à cette question de recherche, trois études de cas seront effectuées en collaboration avec l’Administration Portuaire de Montréal, partenaire de cette proposition.

EEPO – An Extended Reality Social-Emotional Development Companion Agent Framework and Parental Support for Children: Phase 2 Continuation and Evaluation of Prototype

Parenting is challenged by the pace of change in information technology, impacting child development and parent-child relationships. Children learn and grow in online environments and their development, perspectives and
understanding of the world are impacted by multiple communities, which creates risks to safety, relationships and experiences. Supporting technologies will help bridge this gap, intervening with an extended reality and internet-of-
things, Social Emotional Development Companion Agent Framework and Parental Support for Children is proposed. Objectives for this companion system: i) To design conceptual frameworks for exploring the parent-child needs based on the state of the art emerging technologies and deriving requirements for companion agent systems that support parents and children; and ii) To develop early prototype smart-home conversational frameworks with mixed reality interfaces as future companion systems, designed from ideation sprints with stakeholders. These will contribute to systems that support growth, development, and healthy parenting in a rapid technological environment.

Inclusive Economic Development in Toronto: A 20-Year Retrospective and Comparative Analysis with Policy Recommendations

The goal is to support inclusive economic development in Toronto through understanding current gaps and providing an evidence-based approach to monitoring progress over time. This research aims to assess the degree to which Toronto’s economic growth has been ‘inclusive’ in the past 20 years, assess how Toronto compares to other peer jurisdictions, and provide policy recommendations to support equity in economic opportunities and outcomes across Toronto. To attain these objectives, we will use mixed research methods including scoping review and ecosystem mapping, retrospective longitudinal analysis, and qualitative comparative analysis. We will leverage a qualitative analysis to assess how Toronto compares to other peer jurisdictions. By combining these research methods, the research team will provide a comprehensive assessment of inclusive economic development in Toronto as well as provide actionable insights to the City of Toronto on how inclusivity measures can be improved through policy development and other initiatives.

Asymmetric Cross-Coupling via Photoredox Catalysis

The proposed project is to develop a method to cross-couple organic feedstock molecules using base metals and photocatalysts. The method will utilize photocatalysts to convert inert C-H bonds into highly reactive radicals that can be captured using a base metal catalyst. The hydrogen atom is an ideal coupling handle, considering its abundance in organic molecules and its availability for functionalization at almost any stage in a synthetic sequence. This strategy would that avoid the need for substrate prefunctionalization, selectively converting C(sp3)–H bonds directly into C–C bonds. The ability to directly couple these aliphatic C-H bonds with two of the most abundant alkyl sources (carboxylic acids and amines) would grant rapid access to sp3-rich products in a single-step, facilitating a practical synthesis of aliphatic motifs that would be exceedingly difficult to access with traditional methods.

THE INFLUENCE OF PREMATURE CALCIFICATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THETRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE

The proposed project is aimed to provide information on the mechanism of premature calcification in the
Transcatheter Aortic Valves through a complete investigation of the physicochemical factors influencing the process
(chemical composition, pH, temperature, fluid dynamics, and the presence of foreign inorganic and organic
substances). The outcome of the proposed research project would allow formulation of the test criterions for proper
identification of the valve design prone to premature, flow-induced calcification.
The outcome of the proposed research would allow industrial partner, ViVitro Labs Inc., to expand the range of their
testing services towards the evaluation of the functional efficiency and biocompatibility of the implant prototypes
with respect to flow-induced calcification, allowing predetermining the risk of second operation for the substitution of
the defective implant. In addition to that, industrial partner would be able to propose a commercial system, capable of monitoring the process of flow-induced calcification, to its clients.

Veille technologique sur l’impact de l’intelligence artificielle sur la découvrabilité dans le secteur culturel

Ce projet de recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet du Centre d’excellence international de Montréal en intelligence artificielle (CEIMIA) dont le but est d’étudier comment l’intelligence artificielle peut contribuer à une meilleure découvrabilité des contenus culturels francophones, et à en traiter les enjeux, dans le contexte actuel des écosystèmes culturels et numériques. La littérature scientifique sur l’impact de l’intelligence artificielle se développe rapidement et les débats que suscitent ses différentes applications résonnent au cœur des sociétés contemporaines, en faisant un objet potentiel de régulation par tous les paliers de gouvernement. Dans le cadre de ce projet, nous estimons qu’il est nécessaire d’établir une veille technologique traitant des questions liées à l’intelligence artificielle et à la découvrabilité. L’objectif général de notre projet de recherche est de renseigner le comité aviseur du projet découvrabilité du CEIMIA sur les développements technologiques de l’IA, les débats qu’elle suscite et de participer à la réflexion sur les outils à mettre en place pour favoriser la découvrabilité à travers le monde des œuvres francophones produites au Canada.

Capitalizing Indigenous Youth Entrepreneurs Across Canada

While there are both structural and systemic barriers to Indigenous entrepreneurship and youth entrepreneurship in Canada, which will take decades to change, we would like to research and develop a mechanism (fund, supports, etc) to increase the access to capital of Indigenous youth entrepreneurs in the short term so that entrepreneurship becomes a truly viable avenue for Indigenous youth. In short, this “mechanism” needs:
1. To complement, leverage, and/or improve, not compete with, existing capital providers.
2. To align with, or better yet leverage, existing networks of Indigenous youth entrepreneurship.
3. To be culturally appropriate, not harm the entrepreneur, nor bind them into colonial ways of
oppression that dominates the existing capital system.
4. To both fit into an existing capital and entrepreneurial ecosystem, while challenging the existing
structures and systems that make up that ecosystem.
5. To be legally and regulatorily within the abilities of a registered Canadian charity.
6. To have the potential to integrate business development supports and capacity building, if
needed.
