CIRMMT is one of ten McGill research projects to receive $42 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation. By incorporating the latest advances in immersive systems, interactive tools, computational modelling and artificial intelligence and machine learning, the project will enable new collaborative research in music creation, performance, sound environments and applied performance science, helping to keep CIRMMT at the forefront of interdisciplinary research across music, science and technology worldwide.
The Government of Quebec and partner organizations provide additional funding, bringing the total research investment to $106 million.
This transformative investment empowers McGill teams to accelerate world-changing research, from breakthroughs in human health to discoveries that illuminate the cosmos.
The Innovation Fund supports Canadian post-secondary institutions, research hospitals, and non-profit research institutions in acquiring and developing cutting-edge infrastructure to advance their research capacity and foster world-class research.
