A new participatory research project on food security and nutrition has just been launched within Sentinel North. This project, entitled “Participatory Action for Inuit-led Research on Food Production and Nutrition in Inuit Nunangat”, will be implemented in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. View the detailed project page here.

This fall, Sentinel North invites its Université Laval community to take part in a series of workshops and training activities aimed at addressing the complex themes of its research program, while promoting the development of transversal skills.These activities are open to all (students, professors, researchers, professionals).

Unless specified otherwise, all trainings and workshops below will be in French.

The Sentinel North 2019 Scientific Meeting took place from August 26 to 28 at the Lévis Convention Centre.
