This project will use JWST/NIRCam to perform the deepest survey for Kuiper Belt Objects ever.

This project aims to perform a full panchromatic characterization of the warm Neptune TOI-674 b (640 K) using JWST, observing both transmission (0.6 – 12 µm) and emission (3 – 5.2 µm) spectra.

The objective of this Project is to identify the impact of contractual modes on construction productivity and on the environmental performance of projects with a large percentage of prefabrication. This Project is based on synthesis of the theoretical input from scientific literature, as well as on interviews with domain experts, statistical data provided by industry stakeholders (construction associations, public owners, professional unions) and real-world case studies provided by industrial partners (general contractors, manufacturers, developers and consultants). The objective is to compare the overall productivity of the construction of similar projects executed onsite or offsite, depending also on the contractual mode. The impact of the following types of contracts will be investigated: Design–Bid–Build; Progressive Design–Build; and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). Additionally, environmental analysis (i.e., emissions and energy efficiency during construction and simulated operations) will be performed on the same projects.

Knowledge generated across programs such as AGE-WELL and the NRC’s Aging in Place (AiP) Challenge program is difficult to find, access, and apply, creating fragmentation and barriers to scaling solutions that improve quality of life for older adults and caregivers.

These technologies generally require low temperatures and subsequently require precise thermometry, yet most thermometers in this temperature range are expensive, complex, inaccurate, or irreproducible. The Project explores primary “quantum correlation thermometers” that reference a mechanical noise temperature to quantum photon shot noise and address the above challenges.

The University of Alberta proposes a three-year, $442,000 scholarship and fellowship program to advance research collaboration in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Mechatronics with five leading Indo-Pacific universities: University of Queensland (Australia), Tohoku University (Japan), Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), Seoul National University (South Korea), and National Taiwan University.

The Advancing Canada’s Leadership in Impact Investing Project (ACLIIP) is a four-year initiative implemented by the Canada Forum for Impact Investment and Development (CAFIID). The initiative is in partnership with GSG Impact and National Partner organizations including in Central America, West Africa, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. The project seeks to create employment, reduce poverty and improve the well-being of low-income populations in these countries and regions by increasing the flow of Canadian impact investment into developing countries. This is done by strengthening global investment networks, improving knowledge and awareness, and reducing barriers to investment by supporting CAFIID’s Communities of Practice, developing case studies and tools, hosting in-country and virtual learning events, and facilitating direct investor-investee connections. The project aims to support National Partners’ capacity through peer exchange and technical support.
