Several postsecondary institutions have recently launched new research chairs. Université TÉLUQ has created a Canada Research Chair focused on AI and suicide prevention, which will be held by Professor Wassim Bouachir. The chair’s research will combine the use of AI and psychology to mitigate suicidal behaviour. McGill University and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières are jointly spearheading a research chair in democracy, living together, and common values. The chair will be co-led by UQTR Professor Mireille Lalancette and McGill Professor Éric Bélanger. The University of Saskatchewan has appointed Dr Camille Partin as the inaugural Shklanka Chair in Precambrian Critical Mineral Systems. In this role, Partin will study the geological systems and minerals vital to the green economy.
