Our Impact

WHY CIFAR?
CIFAR continues to be at the cutting-edge, forecasting the future and enabling groundbreaking discoveries.
Forty years ago, our organization knew artificial intelligence would become the technology of the future. Today, our programs are looking to restore the world’s carbon imbalance, create the very first multiscale map of the human body and find the right materials to build quantum computers — among other areas of research. Learn how we are catapulting researchers’ careers, and thereby advancing research that will change the world for years, decades and generations to come.
