Workshop on LiDAR

Discussions on the LiDAR theme, initiated in July, continued on October 7 and new participants joined the discussion. Topics discussed include: LiDAR data sharing and accessibility and automatic data extraction and modeling. Also, continuous LiDAR training and maintaining knowledge exchange between France and Québec (with  Pôle THEIA) are considered.

This workshop report and the previous are available in the member area. (In French only)

New on the Website!

A new section is being built on our Website. The Innovation and transfer page will be dedicated to the promotion and development of research and innovation. It will be divided into 3 sections; Incubation projects, ongoing projects and completed projects ready for adoption. The first section will describe the Network initiatives for setting up new projects (e.g. thematic workshops). The second section will present research projects currently undertaken by the Convergence Network researchers. Their presentation aims to:

• raise awareness of the activities and expertise of Network members
• stimulate discussion and initiate new partnerships
• promote and accelerate knowledge transfer and ownership of results by users

Finally, the last section presents completed research with high application potential for which a technology transfer project (with matching funds) would fill the gap between completion of research and technology adoption by end- users.

WE NEED YOU!

Obviously, we can’t complete this section without your help. You'll be asked individually to send us information about your projects (current or completed). You also can download the form to submit information about your completed projects!
