After an extensive consultative process, the research and liaison and transfer activities were reorganized around nine major themes (see below) and two transversal poles, one around "Modeling the Québec Economy" and the other around the "Socio-economic Impacts of Digital Innovation and AI". The set represents both the expertise and interests of the researchers and the priorities and challenges of the partners. CIRANO is proud to announce the appointment of the following principal investigators who will be in charge of leading research in these nine major themes:
