The NSERC CREATE-MMS program aims at bringing together a group of participants from different backgrounds, level of education (ranging from bachelor's to postdoctoral), studies, and skills to achieve inter-disciplinary synergy needed to address research challenges in developing low-cost systems for various applications primarily involving navigation, mapping and autonomous system control.

While trainees get the chance to be educated on topics by the participating speakers, they also get the chance to share their ideas, breakthroughs, and state-of-the-art techniques in special topics through a series of talks presented by the participants
