The Sentinel North International Ph.D School heads towards Nunavik in northern Quebec, a land of contrasts and thriving life. The team of 18 early career scientists and 12 world-class professors and experts will explore the subarctic ecosystems along the vast coast of the Hudson Bay as part of a unique experience aimed at studying the role of microbiomes in shaping arctic food webs, ecosystems services, and human health in the North.
Sentinel North in collaboration with the Complex Systems Center of the University of Vermont announce the second edition of the Complex Networks Winter Workshop (CNWW), to be held on December 15 to 20, 2019 in Quebec city.
Building on the success of the first occurrence of the event, the two institutions team up again to allow more than 40 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professionals to engage in rigorous transdisciplinary complexity science research alongside some of the top researchers in the field of networks.
This grant allows postdoctoral fellows to travel abroad for training and research trips to world-renowned laboratories and research centres, or to participate in specialized workshops or summer schools whose topics align with Sentinel North’s research program. Sentinel North wishes to use this program to develop international scientific collaboration networks and encourage the sharing of knowledge and experience across borders.
More specifically, the program aims to encourage students to:
In an aim to better support the Sentinel North research teams and partners as well as the Université Laval community, the evaluation dates for the Northern Infrastructure Access Fund and for the Event Support Program have been modified.
Applications for the Northern Infrastructure Access Fund will now be assessed on March 1 and October 1. Check out the revised terms here.
Sentinel North in collaboration with the Complex Systems Center of the University of Vermont announce the Complex Networks Winter Workshop (CNWW), to be held on December 15 to 20, 2019 in Quebec city.
The two largest northern research universities in Canada and Norway — Université Laval in Québec City and the University of Tromsø - The Arctic University of Norway (UiT) in Tromsø — are stepping up their collaboration with six new research projects that will draw on the expertise of teams of 26 professors in architecture, biology, biochemistry, engineering, medicine, oceanography, and physics. These international projects involve contributors and partners in Canada, France, Norway, Scotland, and the United States.
The call for abstracts is now open for the Sentinel North Scientific Meeting, to be held August 26-28 in Lévis.
All Université Laval and international researchers, students, collaborators and partners are encouraged to send their presentation proposals to enrich discussions, establish new collaborations and improve our understanding of the northern environment and its impact on humans and their health.
Sentinel North invites you to discover its 2017-2018 Activity Report, shedding light on the many achievements of its community of professors, researchers, students, research professionals, partners and collaborators.
Since its implementation, Sentinel North has seen a vast network of actors mobilize to develop innovative research projects and deploy numerous initiatives to support research, training, valorisation and foster partnerships.
