For the first time, Sentinel North presented a conference for the general public. Led by science journalist Valérie Borde, the event proposed a discussion with the scientific directors of the program, Yves De Koninck and Marcel Babin. They talked about the challenges of collaboration between very different disciplines, and how such collaboration can contribute to achieve the common goal of shedding light on the changing arctic environment and its impact on human health.
