About CARTAMS

What is CARTAMS?

The Centre for Research and Training in Aerospace, Mobility and Space (CARTAMS) is a national not-for-profit organization focused on bringing together industry, government, academia, and the education and training sectors to collaborate on Canadian Aerospace, Mobility, and Space (AMS) projects and initiatives.

To achieve this, CARTAMS is developing a national AMS ecosystem powered by a state-of-the-art cloud-based digital infrastructure to bridge the needs of industry and education – while ensuring broad participation from regions across Canada.

CARTAMS will drive innovation, education, and training in AMS through data creation, visualization, application, and knowledge translation through active collaborations and partnerships.
