Université Laval announces the creation of three new Sentinel North Research Chairs, in aquatic environmental geochemistry (Raoul-Marie Couture, Dep. of Chemistry), on neurobiology of stress and resilience (Caroline Ménard, Dep. of Psychiatry and Neuroscience), and on the surveillance of avian influenza viruses in migratory birds in northern Canada (Gary Wong, Dep. of Microbiology and Immunology).

Below you will find the registration and accommodation information for the Sentinel North Scientific Meeting to be held August 26-28, 2019 at the Lévis Convention and Exhibition Centre.

You will find below the guidelines for oral presentations and posters for the Meeting. Speakers will also find useful tips to deliver their message efficiently to a transdisciplinary audience.

The call for abstracts is now open for the second Sentinel North annual meeting, to be held August 27-30 in Quebec city.

National and international collaborators and partners of the program are invited to join the 350+ Université Laval Sentinel North researchers, professionals and students to enrich discussions and establish new research collaborations to help us improve our understanding of the northern environment and its impact on humans and their health.
