We turn scientific knowledge into tools for action.
Immerscience supports research teams, organizations, associations, and public health stakeholders in designing, implementing, and promoting projects based on scientific data.
We act as an agile partner, either by strengthening teams at key points in a project or by taking on specific assignments.
Our approach saves time, reduces information overload, and transforms complex scientific knowledge into useful, accessible resources tailored to the realities of different audiences.
In particular, we can assist you with:
- develop a knowledge mobilization strategy;
- work collaboratively with the relevant audiences;
- turn research findings into practical tools;
- produce reliable, accessible, and evidence-based content;
- support the dissemination, implementation, and evaluation of the outcomes.
Immerscience is a network of specialists with complementary areas of expertise. Scientists, information professionals, knowledge mobilization specialists, strategists, web experts, and creative professionals collaborate as needed for each project to deliver rigorous, tailored, and impactful solutions.
Founded in 2015 and led by Catherine Lord, Ph. D. In the field of neuroscience, Immerscience draws on more than ten years of experience at the intersection of research, public health, and clinical practice. Drawing on a network of partners in Canada and Europe, Immerscience designs and supports projects that transform scientific knowledge into tools for action.

Two hemispheres. One goal: to turn knowledge into tools for action.
Catherine and Julie are the two halves of Immerscience. Their long-standing partnership and shared passion for research, teaching, and knowledge-sharing naturally led them to scientific entrepreneurship.
After earning their doctorates in psychoneuroendocrinology at McGill University in Montreal, they each pursued complementary career paths at the intersection of research, public health, teaching, and knowledge translation.
Catherine supports teams in the design and development of high-impact projects. Recognized for her ability to bring together ideas, expertise, and people, she builds bridges between research, practice communities, and decision-makers.
Julie ensures that Immerscience runs smoothly and manages operations with precision and efficiency. Her organizational skills, versatility, and ability to turn ideas into tangible results make her an indispensable partner on every project.
