The research work carried out by members of the Centre requires the use of technological platforms. These platforms are made up of specialized equipment that meets recognized norms and standards for providing cutting-edge services in the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. 

This program aims to support the operation of common technology platforms used by regular Centre UNIQUE researchers, as part of their research in the fields of neuroscience AND artificial intelligence (AI). The budget available for this program will fund 3 projects up to a maximum of $40,000 per project, for one year. This amount is non-renewable.
