My Northern Project and Arctic Circle Assembly | Event Recap

Last month, INQ took part in the Arctic Circle Assembly, a major international event in Reykjavik, bringing together experts, researchers and leaders from the Nordic and Arctic regions to discuss challenges and opportunities in the Nordic and Arctic regions.

A highlight for the INQ delegation: the international finals of the Mon Projet nordique competition, organized with UArctic, where ten students, including four INQ-supported Quebecers, presented their research.

Congratulations to Ariane Barrette, a doctoral student in oceanography at Université Laval, who won a jury honor for her rigorous and captivating presentation!
