Le PAIS favorise le transfert de connaissances technologiques ou techniques entre RNCan, l'industrie, d'autres ordres de gouvernement et des établissements d'enseignement canadiens ou étrangers, et ce, dans les deux sens. C'est un programme de détachements, pour des périodes prédéterminées, de personnel scientifique, professionnel et technique entre RNCan et d'autres ordres de gouvernement, l'industrie et les universités. Des employés de l'industrie et du monde scientifique peuvent, ainsi, mieux connaître le milieu scientifique fédéral et les employés du Ministère peuvent acquérir de l'expérience auprès d'organisations extérieures. 1, record 3, French, - Programme%20des%20affectations%20industrielles%20et%20scientifiques
