Opportunities and competitions

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, transdisciplinarity, innovation, collaboration and partnership, Sentinel North offers many learning and funding opportunities that all are invited to grasp.

  • Author Fund

    The Sentinel North Author Fund aims to encourage publications by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows as 1st author, while reinforcing North Sentinel's commitment to open access and the deposit of publications on the CorpusUL institutional platform.

    You may apply for the Author Fund at any time. However, applications will only be processed and evaluated three times per year. Applicants should take the following evaluation dates into account:

    • February 1
    • June 1
    • November 1

  • Access to Northern Infrastructure Fund

    Sentinel North provides its researchers with a Fund to facilitate their access to northern research infrastructure and support field work in terrestrial or marine environments. Get all details here.

    Funding requests can be submitted at any time. However, applications are assessed twice a year. Applicants must consider the following evaluation dates in their planning:

    • April 1st (exception for 2021)
    • October 1st

  • Technology Maturation Fund

    The goal of the Technology Maturation Fund (French only) is to support the maturation of projects originating from Université Laval research teams that fall within the conceptual framework of Sentinel North and have a strong potential for commercialization. The funding is intended to support the steps that will allow a technology or know-how to reach the necessary levels of technological maturity before being transferred to an industrial partner.

    The next deadline for applications to the Maturation Fund is Monday, September 26, 2021 at 11:59 pm.

  • Research projects

    Projects and chairs funded by Sentinel North can provide opportunities for master's, doctoral and post-doctoral students to pursue their research projects in a dynamic and innovative transdisciplinary setting.

    Bourse Éric Dewailly de la Chaire Littoral

    La bourse Éric Dewailly pour la mobilisation des connaissances en santé autochtone a été créée à l’hiver 2020. Cette bourse vise à permettre aux étudiant(e)s œuvrant en santé autochtone, que cela soit avec une perspective de santé humaine ou de santé des écosystèmes, de mobiliser, de partager et de discuter des résultats de leurs recherches avec les communautés autochtones impliquées dans leurs projets.

    Bonne nouvelle: deux bourses d’une valeur de 6500$ et 3500$ chacune en 2021! Nous couvrirons les frais pour un contrat avec un artiste visuel, un designer graphiste ou un réalisateur (ou proposition similaire) pour mettre en oeuvre des projets de mobilisation des connaissances en lien avec vos résultats de recherche via la création d’un outil de communication original et novateur, soit une bande dessinée, une infographie, une affiche, une vidéo, un story-map ou tout autre support visuel de votre choix. Nous pouvons également vous soutenir pour diffuser votre outil via le site web et la page Facebook de la chaire Littoral dans votre région d’étude et ailleurs en Arctique ou auprès des Premières Nations. S’il reste des fonds et que la situation sanitaire le permet, nous contribuerons à vos frais de déplacements pour que vous alliez présenter le fruit de ce travail aux communautés impliquées dans votre projet.

    La date limite pour appliquer est le 21 juin 2021, 21h.
