June 8–10, 2022: Montpellier-Sherbrooke Meetings
The DRI invites you to an information session to answer all your questions on February 10, 2022, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on the Triolet Campus (Room A36.01).
8th Edition of the Sherbrooke–Montpellier University Scientific Conference 2022
The University of Montpellier, the University of Sherbrooke (Quebec, Canada), and Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 University have been linked for several years by a
strategic partnership. Since 2006, one of the main activities of this Franco-Quebec partnership has been the biennial University Science Conferences, held alternately in Montpellier and Sherbrooke*.
In 2022, Montpellier will host the 8th edition of the Rencontres Scientifiques Universitaires, and a delegation from the University of Sherbrooke will be welcomed**.
The goal of these meetings is to strengthen and develop research and training projects by forging close ties between our universities, both in the areas of teaching and research and in the exchange of institutional practices. Over the years and through these meetings, a strong partnership has been built between our universities, and the 2022 edition aims to continue and expand this momentum through academic conferences, working meetings, and institutional exchanges.
The events will be held at all of Montpellier’s university campuses (the University of Montpellier and Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 University) and will include seminars, conferences, meetings, gatherings, and workshops that will help strengthen and develop joint research and training projects, particularly advanced studies.
As of now, the three universities are planning to hold in-person meetings in 2022, from June 8 to 10, 2022.
As is customary, the agenda for the meetings will be based on proposals from the academic communities. These may include follow-ups on topics already discussed at previous meetings, as well as new topics of mutual interest.
The three universities wish to emphasize “new partnerships” during the 2022 edition. This reflects a desire to foster new collaborations—whether thematic or otherwise—and/or to include new colleagues and collaborators, in addition to existing collaborations, which will continue to play a full role in these meetings. The International Relations Offices are available to assist with identifying and connecting with contacts across the Atlantic, if needed.
This aspect of “new partnerships” will also be reflected in the desire to involve academic stakeholders who might be interested in the Rencontres, such as the Institute of the Americas.
We are therefore issuing a call for proposals; you can submit your activity proposals by clicking on thefollowing linkbefore February 15, 2022:Call for Proposals for the Montpellier-Sherbrooke 2022 Conference.
