CEGI Objectives
To continue to innovate and remain competitive in the 21st century, many industrial sectors
require a broadening of scientific techniques and know-how related
to information engineering.
The CEGI (for Centre d'Excellence en Génie de l'Information) responds to this essential need
by pursuing research and development activities which are focused
on the integration of several engineering and scientific fields.
In doing so, the
CEGI
provides innovative approaches that contribute to four main engineering areas:
-
the
acquisition and representation of information;
-
information
processing;
-
transport and communication of information;
- applications of
information.
CEGI researchers will benefit
from
a unique research environment
that supports
a new model of academic-industry interactions
through tangible science and engineering research projects.
|
Built on a continuum of research activities ranging from the engineering
of nanomaterials to the development of telecommunication systems and
algorithms, the CEGI offers leading-edge facilities so that
interdisciplinary teams of researchers can fully integrate their know-how
in order to find innovative and practical solutions to real world applications.
Some of the main application sectors in which
the CEGI researchers are active include:
-
mobile robotics
- telecommunications
- medecine
- kinesiology
- clinical researchh
-
signal processing
Vision
The CEGI will define the standard for technology
transfer in information engineering
- by assembling a critical mass of experienced researchers
from various disciplines from both an academic and industrial background;
- by concentrating its research activities in a single facility.
Our model of academic-industry
interactions will make it possible
- to increase the speed and efficiency of technology
transfer in strategic sectors;
- to ensure better management of fundamental, applied
and industrial research;
- to support and leverage the capabilities of its
affiliated academic, industrial and governmental partners.
Mission
The CEGI will become a catalyst for innovation in information engineering,
acting for the benefit of academic and industrial communities in Québec and Canada.

To meet this objective, the CEGI
- will train highly qualified personnel
;
- will create an environment which will promote
synergies reaching beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries
;
- will consolidate existing and develop new national and international
collaborations.
