Research, innovation, and information dissemination are at the core of the INS Québec’s mission. Research and innovation activities are conducted in the field and in the laboratories of the INS Québec by the scientific and medical staff of the Institute and/or in collaboration with university, college research units, as well as private companies or start-ups.

The research and innovation work of the INS Québec aims to improve the performance of high-level athletes. These scientific and medical works involve a multitude of fields: performance analysis and monitoring, motor learning, biomechanics, engineering, artificial intelligence, neurosciences, nutrition, sports medicine, physiology, psychology, injury prevention, sleep, etc.

To carry out its research, innovation, and information dissemination activities, the INS Québec relies on the financial support of the Ministry of Education (MÉQ), Own the

Podium (OTP), the Institute for Data Valorization (IVADO), Mitacs, and other organizations and funds.

As a convergence point for research, innovation, and information dissemination in high-performance sports in Québec, the INS Québec maintains a rich, dynamic, and sustainable partnership with sports federations, the Québec and Canadian scientific community including emerging scientists, and the private sector.
