As part of CRIM’s 40th anniversary celebrations, our team and ecosystem had the privilege of taking part in the filming of the very first episode of the new TV series “Ça change la vie”, broadcast on October 14, 2025.
This program, hosted by Chloé-Anne Touma, editor-in-chief of Les Connecteurs magazine, highlights concrete examples of the positive impact of science, research and innovation on our lives.
For this first episode, CRIM was in the spotlight, alongside guests from the worlds of health, culture, the environment and municipal management.
Topics covered included:
- An application developed by an emergency doctor that saves lives.
- Real-time subtitling makes content accessible to the hearing impaired.
- Technologies that are shaping the territories and cities of the future.
Our colleagues Anthi Tsonis (Business Analyst/Project Manager), Gilles Boulianne (Scientific Director and Practice Manager, Parole) and our President and CEO, Françoys Labonté, guest of honor, shared their expertise and passion for technological innovation.
At 40, we can say that [CRIM] is an institution. – Françoys Labonté
This first episode celebrates the impact of computer science research, from its development to the industrialization of innovation, particularly in artificial intelligence. A fine acknowledgement of the fundamental role CRIM has played for four decades in the technological evolution of Quebec and beyond.
