The highbond strength makes it inherently radiation hard, while the wide bandgap allows for operation at high temperature (or room temperature with reduced carrier concentration). In the Project,GaN material properties subject to heavy irradiation will beexplored, along with two-types of sensors.

The Project aims to overcome fundamental limits in quantum communication and establish Canada as a leader in quantum networking. Today’s systems are restricted by photon loss in fibers, where the so-called PLOB bound sets the ultimate limit for secure direct communication. The project team’s approach introduces a multimode, cavity QED-based repeater architecture with chiral light-matter coupling.

To harness and deploy entangled photons in future quantum networks, components for tuning, routing, and encoding them at cryogenic temperatures are required. The project involves an on-chip solution based on actuated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) coupled to optical systems.

This collaborative initiative forms a core component of the Volt‑Age Impact program, which advances the development of smart, resilient, and net‑zero‑energy buildings and infrastructure. The project focuses on modelling, designing, and demonstrating integrated energy systems that support carbon neutrality through coordinated use of renewable energy, battery storage, thermal storage, and optimized grid interaction.

Delegation led by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to develop international partnerships and potential project ideas under the Eureka Programs.

The project aims to collaborate with a select group of OSCE participating States to strengthen societal resilience to uphold state stability and sovereignty. It would address the root causes and drivers of intolerance and hate by countering harmful narratives and fostering conditions for constructive and peaceful relations among individuals and communities of diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, prioritizing support for communities most impacted by current international conflicts—such as Muslims and Jews—and those identified by OSCE’s annual hate crime reporting as most at risk of discrimination and security challenges. Project activities include: (1) updating existing curricula to include learning modules on dialogue, on how faith/religion or belief can support the promotion of human rights, and community cohesion; (2) conducting five trainings for criminal justice professionals to learn about hate crimes, hate crime victim support and training methods; (3) conducting three diagnostic workshops to identify gaps and providing recommendations for national-level improvements in hate crime recording, data collection and hate crime victim support; (4) carrying out six national meetings on the security of Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities to enhance co-operation between key stakeholders on addressing the security needs of these communities.

The CESR Facility will support projects under four distinct windows: (i) Technical Assistance, to support capacity-building initiatives, policy and regulatory reforms, and targeted interventions, including efforts to address gender equality gaps in the energy and blue economy sectors; (ii) Energy Transition, which will accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels by financing renewable energy infrastructure, energy efficiency, and grid modernization in middle-income and creditworthy low-income countries; (iii) SIDS Renewable Energy, which will facilitate access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy in SIDS; and (iv) SIDS Blue Resilience, aimed at enhancing climate resilience in coastal and marine ecosystems, with a focus on nature-based solutions, sustainable fisheries, and marine infrastructure adaptation.
