Mission
Com&Tech Innovations Lab (CTI-Lab)
Com&Tech Innovations Lab (CTI-Lab), founded in 2017, is an initiative of several researchers and professors at the University of Ottawa. The CTI-Lab is a space for experimentation and creation of knowledge. We incorporate a participatory approach by collaborating to support the co-design of Information & Communication Technologies, and the use, mapping and visualization of public data to propose innovative solutions to public authorities and organizations. CTI-Lab’s mandate focuses on the creation of a space for interaction, collaboration, and co-design involving researchers, students, citizens and organizations to tackle complex and multifaceted problems
Student involvement
The CTI-Lab has for objective:
- To offer undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students a space for collaboration, exchange and training in the field of communication and information technologies;
- To offer opportunities for students to work as research assistants or volunteers (through the Community Service Learning program) and to participate actively in the researches/activities led by the CTI-Lab;
- To allow students to present their work/research during workshops and to offer them a space for exchange and collective reflection.
