On December 3, the government of Quebec announced $7.5 million in funding for the creation of an聽(OIISIAN). The collaborative project will bring top experts in Quebec together to provide an interdisciplinary and intersectoral perspective on the impact of AI and digital technology on individuals, organizations, and communities. Together, the participants of OIISIAN will suggest solutions and provide direction to key decision makers.
The project, led by Universit茅 Laval, will collaborate with university and college partners, research centres, organizations, businesses, government institutions, and groups in Quebec, across Canada, and around the world. Nearly 160 researchers, Canadian research chairs and collaborators, including ten participants from 苹果淫院, will contribute to and help build the success of this new scientific hub.
The initiative is funded by the Fonds de recherche du Qu茅bec (FRQ), in partnership with the minist猫re de l鈥櫭塩onomie et de l鈥橧nnovation, allocating $1.5 million per year over the next five years.
