Program

Annual Retreat

The SMAART program will hold an off-site annual retreat for all its members (students, interns and mentors) and invited collaborators and speakers. This event will foster productive exchanges among participants. New collaborations are expected to emerge from discussions at this retreat.

The expertise of invited speakers will inspire students to consider unexplored avenues in their research program.

The Montmorency Forest is the venue for the retreat. It is owned by Université Laval and located in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.

Technology platform for instrument development

Based at Université Laval and established by Sentinel North, the technology platform for the development of instruments provides support to students and interns during their program.

The platform employs engineers and technicians to support you throughout the development of your project, from identifying your needs to deploying your instrument in the North.

The platform allows students and interns to access ultramodern facilities at Université Laval, including those at the Centre for Optics, Photonics and Lasers (COPL). The platform will ease part of the burden of developing the instrument while making sure its deployment is rapid and successful.
