PERSWADE Program in smart wireless communication and related applications
The development of smart cities and smart electric vehicles and networks calls for multidisciplinary skills. PERSWADE—short for Pervasive and Smart Wireless Applications for the Digital Economy— is a program spearheaded by INRS professor Sofiene Affès. It brings together five universities and ten industry partners in three research areas: smart communications, smart monitoring, and smart management. About 20% of program research is conducted in an industrial setting. Students in the program benefit from seminars, workshops, internships, and collaborative industry-oriented projects.
Funded through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) CREATE program, this initiative rely on strong collaboration between universities and industry.
