About the Institute for Intelligence and Data
Through its leadership, the IID inspires, catalyzes, and supports interdisciplinary innovation, fosters excellence in research and talent development, and drives sustainable and responsible impact in the field of artificial intelligence for the benefit of Quebec society.
From fundamental to applied research, including major ethical issues, IID members, collaborators and associate researchers are actively working today to develop methods, technologies and practices that will support the Quebec of tomorrow.
Mission and objectives
To advance knowledge and expertise in artificial intelligence and data analytics in order to support, in a spirit of collaboration, innovation in Quebec and its international influence.
In line with the mission statement, IID strives to fulfill the following objectives:
Pursue and promote innovative and ethically responsible research in artificial intelligence, data science and any other related field, in a spirit of collaboration and interdisciplinarity;
Promote the achievements of its researchers in academia, business networks, public institutions and the population, through dissemination, training and popular science activities;
Contribute to the training of highly qualified personnel in the fields of artificial intelligence and data science, as well as in related disciplines;
Develop and support collaborations with partner organizations interested in artificial intelligence and data sciences on the local, national and international levels;
Collaborate with the socio-economic milieu for the transfer of knowledge in artificial intelligence and data sciences.
A center of expertise in AI and data
With large-scale research projects, dozens of companies and organizations supported and actively contributing to training the next generation, the IID is a key component of Quebec’s academic and technological ecosystem.
Looking toward the future, our institute continues to affirm its essential contribution to AI that is grounded in reality, ethical, and dedicated to serving society.
Experts who can work with you to develop your collaborative artificial intelligence project
With its cutting-edge expertise, the Institute for Intelligence and Data is an essential collaborative hub capable of supporting businesses and organizations of all kinds.
Our services include strategic consulting, training, collaborative research, event planning, and exclusive access to world-class infrastructure at Université Laval.
Physical Environment
Explore and analyze data from the physical world, on the scale of individuals, buildings, cities and territories.
Methods of Artificial Intelligence and Data Processing
Promote and develop fundamental and applied research related to both generic methods and specific approaches or complex systems.
Health and Life Sciences
Analyze data from the living world, from the molecular level to that of human and animal populations, and to support the use of this data towards a better understanding of our world.
Ethics, Confidentiality and Social Acceptability
Integrate an ethical dimension into research and development in artificial intelligence, in response to realities associated with security, confidentiality and social acceptability.
Research Thrusts
The research members of the Intelligence and Data Institute actively contribute to the development and advancement of knowledge across a wide range of fields—from innovative manufacturing to digital twins, from smart devices to sensor networks, from smart cities to medical imaging, as well as genomics, nutrition, animal sciences, ethics, and more. Their expertise is organized around four areas of focus:
Administrative Team
Raymond Poirier
Communications Advisor
Institute Intelligence and Data (IID)
Université Laval
Conseiller en innovation du Québec
Scientific Team
The Institute Board and the IID Committees
To support and guide its work, the Institute for Intelligence and Data brings together several key stakeholders from both Université Laval and the business and innovation community in the greater Quebec City area.
Our Institute’s Board of Directors guides the direction and activities of our teams. The Scientific and Technology Transfer Committees, meanwhile, provide advice and recommendations to the management team in developing its strategies, approaches, and initiatives.
Discover IID’s student members
Graduate students work together with IID researchers to contribute to the development and enrichment of knowledge in a multitude of fields of application – from industry 4.0 to the Internet of Things (IoT), from machine learning methods to immersive technologies, from smart cities to medical imaging, and more.
Join the team!
Both the IID and its affiliated centers regularly promote different positions, study projects or internship opportunities in the fields of artificial intelligence and data science. Discover on our website various calls for applications in the field of artificial intelligence and data science at Université Laval.
The four founding centres of IID
The establishment of IID (Institute Intelligence and Data) at Université Laval was supported by four university research centres, identified today as “founding centres” in the structure of the Institute:
Centre de recherche en données et intelligence géospatiales (CRDIG)
The Centre de recherche en données et intelligence géospatiales (Geospatial Data and Intelligence Research Centre), previously known as the Centre de recherche en géomatique (Geomatics Research Centre) was established at Université Laval in 1989. A privileged witness to the evolution of geomatics, the CRDIG is also a key player in this field.
Since its creation, this centre has had a significant influence on the development of knowledge, technologies and tools, and even on the geomatics industry in Quebec, Canada and elsewhere in the world. The centre has been able to adapt its scientific programming over time in order to remain avant-garde. Today, this programming is geared towards the era of big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence.
Centre de recherche en données massives (CRDM)
Big data analysis is both an opportunity and a challenge for a growing number of research fields, bringing together problems from different fields to one rendezvous.
The mission of CRDM is to meet the challenges of major societal issues through the commitment and regrouping of the driving forces in computer science, statistics, bioinformatics, medicine, forestry and administration, on campus and in affiliated hospital research centres. This mission can be achieved by training highly qualified personnel in data management and analysis, and by recruiting promising researchers in the field of Big Data.
Centre interuniversitaire de recherche sur les réseaux d’entreprise, la logistique et le transport (CIRRELT)
The mission of CIRRELT is to become an internationally renowned interdisciplinary research center offering top-notch supervision for the most promising researchers and research professionals. The centre develops and disseminates its cutting-edge knowledge and methodologies in order to design, manage and operate innovative, efficient, secure, safe and sustainable networks.
CIRRELT researchers devote most of their efforts to solving problems related to the design, management, operation and security of logistics networks, services and infrastructure.
Centre de recherche en robotique, vision et intelligence machine (CeRVIM)
The mission of CeRVIM (Robotics, Vision and Machine Intelligence Research Centre) is to study and develop intelligent systems which evolve and collaborate with humans in the physical world. CeRVIM brings together 15 researchers, 9 research professionals, 100 student-researchers and 6 post-doctoral researchers from three departments and four research laboratories in the Faculty of Sciences and Engineering of Université Laval in Quebec City.
CeRVIM is the host research center of the FRQNT-REPARTI strategic network.
Innovate in AI and data science in a spirit of collaboration
Regionally, nationally and internationally, IID (Institute Intelligence and Data) is at the heart of a vast network of partners from academia, industry and public administration. In a spirit of collaboration, supported by the strength of its network, IID develops innovative initiatives, implements structuring research projects and encourages the AI and data science ecosystem to flourish.
