about

UQAT's Forest Research Institute invites you to the 5th Annual Conference of the NSERC-UQAT Industrial Research Chair on Biodiversity in a Mining Context (BMC), that will take place at Hôtel Albert in Rouyn-Noranda on April 24th.


The conference will be an opportunity to learn more about the research team's findings. The morning will be dedicated to presentations summarizing all the research carried out within the BMC Chair from 2017 to 2024. In the afternoon, hands-on workshops (several options available) will be offered to get to know the tools developed based on this new knowledge.
Lunch will be served at midday and a reception will round off the day on a casual note.
A draw and participation prizes are also on the menu.
