Université du Tiers Temps (UTT): Call for Conference Proposals (Submission Deadline – April 10, 2022)

The UM helps promote scientific culture at the Université du Tiers Temps.

=> UTT Lectures

About 180 lectures are given each year at the Université du Tiers Temps (UTT), an interuniversity program founded more than 40 years ago, which had more than 1,500 students in 2021.
The lectures offered by our academic community aim to invigorate, disseminate, and promote scientific culture among everyone, and to foster critical, reasoned, and constructive thinking among our fellow citizens.

Open to students enrolled at UTT, the lectures take place Monday through Friday from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. or from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Each session lasts one hour, including a question-and-answer period. They are usually held in the Pétrarque Room, located at 2 Pl. Pétrarque in Downtown, which is equipped with audiovisual facilities.

Compensation: Researchers and faculty members who teach may, if they are currently employed and have been granted permission to hold a second position, be compensated in accordance with the university’s course compensation guidelines, or choose to teach on a volunteer basis.

Health and safety requirements: Those who accept the invitation must agree that, in the event the lectures cannot be held in person, they will provide an audio or video recording before the scheduled date of their lecture. These recordings will be made available only to students enrolled at UTT.

=> UM Lectures at UTT

Presentations should be accessible to as wide an audience as possible while maintaining their academic nature. It is recommended (except for a few fundamental topics) not to propose presentations that were already given the previous year.

In 2022–23, a themed week will be dedicated to lectures on “Travel, Travelers, and Writers.” All aspects related to this theme are welcome.
After reviewing proposals relevant to its disciplines, a selection committee affiliated with the UM Research Commission will submit a list of lectures to the UTT. The selected speakers will be contacted by the UTT administration to schedule the date(s) of their presentation(s).
