This project consists of the third iteration of the Montreal International Security Summit. The event seeks to strengthen Canada's ties with NATO allies and Indo-Pacific partners in response to rising instability from Russia, China, and authoritarian regimes.

This project consists of a two-day workshop and table-top exercise focused on the space-cyber nexus. It will examine questions related to the attribution of space and cyber attacks, the impact of cyber hardening of dual-use space systems and the ethical aspect of cyber attacks as a counter-space capability.

The objective of the EAF is to support community based projects across Canada that improve accessibility, remove barriers, and enable Canadians with disabilities to participate in and contribute to their community.

June 2025 –The health situation in Gaza remains critical due to ongoing hostilities which led to high numbers of casualties, injuries, and mass displacement. Health facilities are operating under severe constraints, with limited supplies, damaged infrastructure, and staff working under extreme pressure. The already fragile healthcare system is struggling to meet the growing needs, particularly in trauma care, maternal and child health, and infectious and chronic disease management. Ongoing support is crucial to sustain and restore urgent medical care and essential healthcare services.

With GAC's support, Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM) helps reduce suffering, maintain human dignity, and save lives in communities experiencing humanitarian crises in Gaza.
Project activities include: (1) providing emergency health services especially for conflict-related injuries; (2) providing primary healthcare services including sexual and reproductive healthcare and mental health, maternal nutrition, and mental health and psychosocial support; (3) providing gender-based violence (GBV) medical and counselling services; and (4) distributing hygiene and dignity kits to displaced women and adolescent girls.

We’ve engaged a research assistant to support our molecular-biology team in strain engineering and process optimization. Responsibilities include preparing reagents, running routine assays (e.g., PCR, small-scale fermentations), maintaining electronic lab notebooks, and managing consumables inventory. By freeing senior scientists for design work, this role will accelerate engineering cycles and strengthen data integrity for improved strain performance.

Toronto Fresh Food (TFF) is developing an AI-driven smart quality control and shelf-life prediction system to enhance meat processing efficiency and food safety. Using computer vision, machine learning, and IoT sensors, the project will enable real-time defect detection, predictive shelf-life modeling, and automated processing optimization. This innovation aims to reduce waste, improve food quality, and enhance regulatory compliance. Supported by IRAP funding, TFF’s initiative will strengthen Canada’s food manufacturing sector by advancing AI-powered automation and smart monitoring technologies.

This project will test hypotheses and experiment with new mechanisms to design (or optimize) a repeatable and scalable business process, which may result in new business methods related to inventory management.

Delegation led by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to establish relationships with key customers, end-users, and other international firms, which will help set the stage for potential Canadian projects in the upcoming Eureka ITEA Cluster call for proposals.

The province of Newfoundland and Labrador requested federal assistance in response to the wildfire situation. This request led to the deployment of Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada (SARVAC) responders under the Humanitarian Workforce (HWF) program. Their role was to support safety and travel management, evacuations, wellness checks, and security efforts in response to increasing capacity demands caused by high summer temperatures, overlapping displacement events, and a dynamic wildfire response situation.
