Grants and Contributions

The project will focus on research and development, including implementation of best practices (for hiring), and the selection of a convenient, smart, and responsive mobile platform for its customers (production companies, talent agents) and the firm’s end-users).

NSCC will respond to the needs of SMEs to provide technical, procedural and advisory support to increase innovation and efficiencies in its businesses.

As part of the Japan Corporate Co-Innovation Program, the project “GoGame” will focus on software development of AI technology to transform game footage analysis for the Japanese gaming market.

Plastic pollution is a worldwide problem. As plastic pollution is expected to grow, the amount of plastic in the environment is also expected to grow. Plastic pieces found in the environment are categorized depending on their size: microplastics (MP) (1-5000 µm) and nanoplastics (NP) (1-1000 nm). Both micro and nanoplastics can have deleterious effects when ingested by organisms in the environment. Observed effects varies from food dilution, oxidative stress and lower reproductive success. Additionally, more and more research is done on organisms microbiome. Once ingested, microplastics are mainly accumulating in the gastro-intestinal tract before being egested with feces and only a small portion will reach other organs. In the case of nanoplastics, due to their small sizes, they can cross biological barriers and can be distributed within all organs. As the gastro-intestinal tract is where both micro and nanoplastic transit through, these particles can have potential effects on the gastro-intestinal tract itself but also on the microbiome inhabitating it. Additionally, some research found that nanoplastics can disrupt the brain-intestine-microbiota axis, and call for this endpoint to be studied when assessing the environmental risk of micro and nanoplastics. To study the effects of micro and nanoplastics on gut microbiota, we propose to use adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model species.

Samdesk is enhancing its crisis alert pipeline with advanced AI and machine learning to improve location identification accuracy and develop comprehensive analytics functionality.

This project develops a tool for farmers to predict weed emergence for targeted strategic weed management (via both herbicide and non-chemical options), and for early detection of emerging herbicide resistance.

This project aims to develop an optimized and standardized version of the firm’s initial prototype, offering a more immersive experience and greater robustness and reliability.

To develop a low weight, high gauss magnetic field strength, ground conforming magnetic arrangement for use as an accessory on street sweepers.

With Cascadia Seaweed Nature-based Solutions and the NRC, this study will initiate baseline scientific understanding of how fish, plankton, and marine microbial communities, as well as oceanographic variables, vary across three habitats within the QEN,T Marine Protected Area: the ȽEL¸TOS / James Island Kelp Farm (primarily Sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima), a wild canopy-forming kelp bed (Bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana), and an adjacent non-vegetated pelagic habitat. The Project will employ cutting-edge monitoring technologies including underwater video, computer vision, metabarcoding, and multiparameter oceanographic sampling equipment.
