PROJECTS & IMPACT
Projects and impact by research area
CULTURE in the regions
The main objective of this axis is to promote and foster research and creative and cultural initiatives in the regions, i.e. outside the major urban centres.
Arts and health
Encourage and undertake research, training and knowledge-transfer initiatives to better understand the relationship between arts, culture and health, and to facilitate knowledge transfer, in order to find answers to the challenges and issues facing society.
digitial creativity
Identify crucial issues within the digital creative industries, particularly in visual effects (VFX) and animation, video games and digital experience (Xn) areas, to foster research, training and development in this sector.
discoverability
Contribute to understanding the dynamics behind discoverability issues, disseminate knowledge on the subject and propose modes of action based on research. Conduct all of this at the individual, collective and societal levels concerning culture and, more broadly, “products” from the creative economy and ideas that enhance well-being, particularly—but not exclusively—on digital platforms.

GRANTS AWARDED BY THE RESEARCH CHAIR
> GRANTS
Each year, the research chair in the creative economy and well-being (CREAT) awards approximately $50,000 in scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students. Recipients are selected by the Chair’s Axis committees. A candidate may propose only one (1) project per year, regardless of the Chair’s Axis.
The Axis Committees reserve the right to modify or cancel any or all of the rules governing student grant competitions, and to determine the number, duration and period(s) of awards during the year.

To be eligible for the competitions, interested parties must meet all of the following eligibility criteria:
- Be enrolled full-time or part-time in a undergraduate, graduate or postgraduate program, or be carrying out postdoctoral research at the home institution recognised by the FRQSC;
- Be supervised or carry out a project directed by a member of the CREAT Chair. Students supervised by a Chair collaborator may also enter the competitions, but must ensure their eligibility by consulting the FRQ’s RGC;
- Be a student member of the CREAT Chair;
- Address a research theme related to the creative economy and wellness.
