Together, these projects will receive aggregate funding of\n$1.4 million.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe 14 projects would never have seen the light of day without support from the Ministry of Education\nand Higher Education under a program providing for the creation of regional centres of higher learning.\nContributions by the latter make it possible to catalyse reflection and achievements with a view to\nenhancing and developing training in artificial intelligence,\u201d underscores <strong>Myl\u00e8ne Boisclair<\/strong>, co-president of\nPIA and director general of C\u00e9gep du Vieux Montr\u00e9al.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe number of proposals received, but more especially the quality and diversity of proposal content,\nprovide proof positive of the keen interest in artificial intelligence by the higher learning community and\nwillingness by colleges and universities to cooperate in this regard,\u201d adds <strong>Sylvie Normandeau<\/strong>,\nco-president of PIA and assistant vice-rector of Undergraduate Studies and Continuing Education at\nUniversit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the launch of these calls for projects, PIA sought to spur innovative initiatives and foster inter-level\ncollaboration by colleges and universities.
