PRECARN is a not-for-profit consortium of over 30 Canadian
corporations. PRECARN (sometimes expanded as Pre-Competitive
Applied Research Network) has as its overriding objective the
increase of industrial competitiveness in Canada. This will be
accomplished by funding applied research projects to raise awareness
of, and exploitation of, artificial intelligence and robotics
technologies within industry.
PRECARN is now commencing the process that will identify, and
eventually fund, the research and development activities in artificial
intelligence and robotics that hold the greatest promise for eventual
exploitation by the member corporations. PRECARN is inviting
applications for the funding of feasibility studies. Applications
to this RFP may come from:
a) Canadian universities or colleges;
b) Canadian corporations or subsidiaries of foreign corporations
having, or actively moving towards, a significant research and
development operation in Canada;
c) Crown corporations with an arm's-length relationship with the
government.
