From October 13 to 16, Institut nordique du Québec (INQ) participated in the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik, Iceland, a meeting place for cooperation and international dialogue on the Arctic. The Quebec delegation participating in this year's event included 22 people from academia, government and northern communities.
Within the framework of this exceptional international forum, INQ coordinated, with its local and international partners, two activities that proved to be excellent showcases for the province's research expertise: the international final of the My Northern Project science popularization contest and a panel discussion on new ways of developing knowledge in Northern Quebec.
Once again this year, the Quebec delegation at the Arctic Circle Assembly demonstrated the importance of Quebec as a diligent and committed player in the sustainable development of its territory. A player with a strong and diversified northern research capacity that can provide policy makers with the knowledge necessary for the ethical development of circumpolar regions.
