“EmpowHer”: enhancing gender equality and advocacy in Southern Tunisia through SRHR campaigns and youth empowerment.

This research and development project sets out to improve geospatial and geophysical surveying methods by implementing swarm drone systems that can more quickly and efficiently capture high resolution data in a low-cost and sustainable manner.

Design and development of an intermediary-sized hydrogen liquefier, based on cryogenic turboexpander technology, with a production capacity of 100 kg/day.

The Project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the Firm.

Integrated machine learning (ML) to facilitate diesel displacement in class 8 trucks with hydrogen to facilitate rapid commercial conversions.

The transmitters used in future fiber optic networks will require higher optical powers to sustain ever increasing bit rates and network flexibility. However, it is currently a technological challenge to implement an optical amplifier in the area of the transmitter for which its impact would be the largest. SCINTIL Photonics has developed a silicon photonics platform which allows the integration of amplifiers at this key point in the link. NRC has developed materials for amplifying optical signals which introduce little noise in the optical signal, a perfect fit for the transmitters SCINTIL is developing. This project will aim to build a prototype of an optical transmitter utilizing SCINTIL’s amplifier integration process, fabricated with NRC’s amplifier materials, for the next generation of high speed, energy-efficient optical communication systems, with research support from the University of Toronto.

Restoring and reclaiming land degraded by gold panning using food crops and fruit trees, and training and raising awareness in vulnerable communities in the sub-prefecture of Boré (Dimbokro).

Strengthening conflict prevention in Côte d’Ivoire by fighting against false information (fake news) available on the Internet and social networks with a forum, workshops and an awareness-raising campaign against this phenomenon.
