The entire INQ team would like to take advantage of this last newsletter of 2020 to wish you a happy holiday season. Get some rest, have fun, and come back in shape for 2021!
A sneak peek of 2021?
My Northern Project, our science popularization contest, will be re-launched in January. For this edition, we will again use the video format. Students, you can already start thinking about your concept! You will have a time limit of 5 minutes to present your northern research project to us. Watch the videos of the 5 Quebec 2020 finalists for inspiration!

Elsewhere on the Web
A new website, focusing on Inuit literature from Nunavik, Nunavut, Nunatsiavut and Greenland is now available. The objective of the site is to " allow better knowledge of the Inuit men and women who have written on their culture, their territory and their vision of the world, to discover their works and to grasp their perception of history". This site was created on the initiative and under the responsibility of the International Laboratory for Research on the Imagination of the North, Winter and the Arctic, directed by Daniel Chartier, professor at Université du Québec à Montréal.
