Université Laval

A pioneer for over half a century in northern and Arctic research, Université Laval is home to several major interuniversity research centres, including Centre d’études nordiques (CEN), Québec Océan (QO) and Centre interuniversitaire d’études en recherches autochtones (CIÉRA). It oversees the Sentinel North research program and is home to Institut nordique du Québec and ArcticNet, three front-line northern research initiatives. The CCGS Amundsen icebreaker, a state-of-the-art research ship deployed to the Arctic Ocean and Takuvik Joint International Laboratory (CNRS/UL), devoted to remote sensing of Canada's new Arctic frontier, are also hosted by Université Laval.
