The call for abstracts for the Sentinel North Scientific Meeting 2019 is currently open to all. Please read the guidelines below before submitting an abstract.

The call for abstracts is now closed. Thank you!

The Sentinel North Scientific Meeting is the opportunity for the community to gather, exchange and establish new collaborations to improve our understanding of the northern environment and its impact on human beings and their health.

Sentinel North 2025 Scientific Meeting: Converging for the North

As the Sentinel North research program draws to a close, research to better understand the changing North and its impact on people and their health is at its peak.

Deadline to submit an application for the excellence scholarships and fellowships competition

We are pleased to announce that the next Sentinel North Scientific Meeting will take place from 26 to 28 August 2019  at the Lévis Convention Center.

Please mark your calendars and save the dates! More information on the call for abstracts and the meeting will be available soon. Don't hesitate to share this announcement within your networks.

Deadline to submit to the joint call for proposals UiT / ULaval

This winter, Sentinel North offers a rich program of transdisciplinary training activities aimed at addressing the complex themes of its research program, while promoting the development of transversal skills.

Do not miss the chance to take part in one of these unique learning opportunities!

Sentinel North announces the opening of its excellence scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships competition, from February 1 to March 10, 2019.

These grants and fellowships aim to encourage the best candidates to undertake or pursue research activities within the Sentinel North research program in a transdisciplinary environment.

Research is mostly governed by a narrow set of ideas about "publications" and "impact", ultimately leading to perverse incentives. "Open scholarship" rethinks old habits by embracing openness at all levels: Data, analysis, dissemination, and education - but how can we best integrate that into our day-to-day practices?

In an informal atmosphere, we want to discuss and learn, both from each other and from specially invited experts. Come join our biweekly lunch seminars, and maybe emerge with some ideas of how to get out of the rut!

International PhD School

2 - 8 June 2019, Aurora College, Inuvik (Northwest Territories, Canada)

Under the leadership of the Sentinel North program at Université Laval (Quebec City, Canada), this International PhD School (IPS) is an advanced, graduate level course on permafrost engineering applied to transportation infrastructure.

Université Laval's CREATE-SMAART and Sentinel North programs offer students a unique opportunity to interact with top level scientists as part of a transdisciplinary and highly technological training program aimed to develop and deploy an optical device in northern conditions.

Registrations are open to recruit participants ready for an integrative and practical experience in the fields of engineering and optics at the Forêt Montmorency, the largest teaching and research forest in the world.
