La Nuit polaire : networking and conference event

Next deadline to apply to the Author Fund

Meet with Samuel Laney

Navigating between engineering and oceanography, Samuel Laney is an atypical researcher. Working at the interface of disciplines, he has evolved without checking the boxes of specialization, catalyzing collaborations for the benefit of innovation. During this participative workshop, you'll learn more about the challenges and obstacles encountered, but also about the opportunities and skills acquired in a career off the beaten track.

This workshop will be an opportunity to:

More than 300 participants from academia, northern organizations, federal and provincial agencies, and the public and private sectors gathered at the 2023 Sentinel North Science Meeting, a key interdisciplinary research conference that builds on collaboration and networking to advance research on a wide range of northern issues.

With its theme of "Converging Towards New Horizons", the 2023 Sentinel North Scientific Meeting offered a rich and integrated scientific content, highlighting the societal impacts and transformative aspect of the program.

Sentinel North Scientific Meeting

Sentinel North teams are committed to transforming the knowledge generated within their projects into active use for the common good of society. Sharing results with knowledge users, including stakeholders, decision-makers and community members, ensures that research translates into real and lasting impacts.

More and more, knowledge mobilization (KM) is becoming a key dimension of research. This page aims to inform and provide teams with resources to facilitate the transformation of data and knowledge into actions leading to real and lasting impacts for society.

KM, the link between research and its impact

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been the subject of numerous research studies in recent years. These efforts are now leading to concrete actions, as these synthetic compounds are currently being targeted by several national and international decision-making bodies due to the risks they pose to humans and the environment.

With a unique hands-on, practical approach, the Advanced Field School in Computational Ecology proposes to leverage and experiment with cutting-edge technologies that can help bring Arctic biodiversity research to a new level.
