The first Sentinel North International Ph.D School is currently underway in Nunavut's capital city of Iqaluit. For one full week, 19 students from 15 different universities and various backgrounds are teaming up with 11 northern students and 15 internationally renowned professors and local experts to demystify the complex issue of the changing Arctic cryosphere, in a transdisciplinary and highly technological learning environment.

Sentinel North announces the opening of the third Sentinel North excellence scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships competition, from March 1 to April 10, 2018.

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.

Last Fall, the Sentinel North Students Association (AESN) was created to strengthen the sense of belonging of the program's students to its community, as well as to benefit from its transdisciplinary character.

Congratulations to Audrey Laberge-Carignan (Interim President), Christophe Perron (Acting Secretary), Marc-Antoine Bansept (Acting Treasurer), Audrey Picard-Lafond (Acting Communications Officer) and to all members of the committee for their involvement in this new organization.

Program objectives

The aim of the Sentinel North Master's scholarships is to encourage top applicants to undertake or pursue their research and training in a transdisciplinary environment.

There are various eligible fields of research. Outstanding students who have excellent academic records and research proposals with innovative, multidisciplinary potential are invited to apply.

Scholarship amount and duration : $17 500, may be renewed once

The Sentinel North program includes hundreds of participants from Université Laval who work with their partners from northern organizations, federal and provincial agencies, and the private sector to improve our understanding of the northern environment and its impact on humans and their health.
