Reduce the labour shortage while fostering competitiveness in the manufacturing sector: that is the aim of the new training program Enabling Technologies for Collaborative Robotics in Manufacturing (CoRoM), spearheaded by the Université de Sherbrooke, the École de technologie supérieure, and the Université Laval.

With a $3.5M grant over six years, CoRoM offers an interdisciplinary path that includes industrial internships to Master’s and Ph.D. students.
