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

Discover the people who are part of this vast network developing innovative projects and deploying initiatives to promote research, training, and the sharing of knowledge.

Interdisciplinary collaboration workshop

Sentinel North's governance and management structure is designed to provide the resources and vision necessary to achieve its strategic objectives. It also ensures leadership, accountable management and scientific coordination at all levels.

The Sentinel North research and training strategy offers all researchers and students the chance to push their limits in a unique research and learning environment. By encouraging discovery, interdisciplinarity, innovation, collaboration and partnership, Sentinel North offers many learning and funding opportunities that all are invited to grasp.

Next deadline to apply to the Author Fund

Sharing research results—especially in open access—increases the use, application, and impact of research. To that end, Sentinel North supports its community with an Author Fund, which helps its teams cover article processing charges (APCs).

The Fund is intended to support first-author publications by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows while strengthening Sentinel North’s commitment to open access and encouraging use of the university’s Corpus^UL repository.

SN Student Association Annual General Meeting

This fall, Sentinel North and its partners are offering a rich program of hands-on workshops and online conferences featuring some of the most qualified experts in their field. These workshops offer everyone (students, professionals, professors) a unique opportunity to develop their skills on a wide range of topics related to northern and transdisciplinary research.

There’s quite a gap between doing research and talking about your research—a whole other world and language to become familiar with.

This practical interactive course aims to equip young researchers effectively disseminate their research to the general public or converse with researchers from other disciplines.

In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to:

The media play a key role in disseminating research results and educating the general public. Behind the scenes, in preparation for media coverage, there is an interaction between scientists and journalists: people from different backgrounds who speak very different languages.
