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.

Sentinel North would like to congratulate all participants of the poster competition and the Northern Transdisciplinary Challenge held at the 2019 Scientific Meeting. The quality of presentations was well beyond the judge's expectations, who had a hard time picking the winners! Everyone can be very proud of the work done.
