Poster created for DRI Connect 2025 (English version). --- In response to the current and emerging AI needs of Canada’s research community, the Pan-Canadian AI Compute Environment (PAICE) was established under Phase 2 of the Pan-Canadian AI Strategy to develop and deliver a dedicated, national AI infrastructure, specifically compute capacity and related services. The PAICE initiative is collaboratively led by a coalition comprised of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance), Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR), Canadian National AI Institutes (Amii, Mila and Vector), Calcul Québec, and with key infrastructure and technical expertise from Université Laval, University of Alberta and University of Toronto. This collaborative approach has been designed to ensure all organizations, including Canada’s research community, have a key role in the ongoing procurement, governance and oversight of national AI infrastructure
