Science is more than groundbreaking discoveries. It’s also about the friendships that grow and stand the test of time.

Before a hunter travels across sea ice, a ship enters Arctic waters, or a community plans for changing wildlife or resources, they need reliable information about what is happening now and what may happen next. But that information is often fragmented, spread across satellite data, scientific research programs, community monitoring initiatives and generations of Indigenous knowledge.

Knowledge mobilization allows us to translate research findings into tangible outcomes for communities, as demonstrated by the work of the three prize-winning researchers recognized with this award.

Artificial intelligence data centres consume massive amounts of energy and fresh water to keep their systems running. PhD student Jean-Félix Milette is exploring quantum materials that could help make future computing technologies more efficient and sustainable.
