8th Sherbrooke - Montpellier 2022 university scientific meetings

The Université de Montpellier, the Université de Sherbrooke (Quebec, Canada) and the Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 have been linked for several years by a strategic partnership. Since 2006, one of the main activities of this Franco-Quebec collaboration has been the Rencontres Scientifiques Universitaires, held every two years, alternately in Montpellier and Sherbrooke*.

In 2022, the 8th Rencontres Scientifiques Universitaires will be held in Montpellier, and a delegation from the University of Sherbrooke will be welcomed**.

The aim of these meetings is to strengthen and develop research and training projects by forging close links between our universities, both in the field of teaching and research, and in the exchange of institutional practices. Over the years, a strong partnership has been built up between our universities, and the 2022 edition aims to pursue and amplify this dynamic through scientific symposia, working meetings and institutional exchanges.

The meetings will be held at all Montpellier university sites (Université de Montpellier and Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3), and will give rise to seminars, colloquia, meetings and workshops that will help to strengthen and develop joint research and training projects, particularly advanced studies.

To date, the three universities have decided to hold face-to-face meetings in 2022, from June 8 to 10, 2022.

As usual, meeting agendas are based on proposals from the university communities. These may include follow-up on themes already addressed at previous meetings, or new topics of mutual interest.

The three universities wish to emphasize "new partnerships" at the 2022 event. This means a desire to foster new collaborations, themes and/or the inclusion of new colleagues/collaborators, in addition to existing collaborations, which will retain their rightful place in these meetings. The International Relations Departments are available to help identify and put you in touch with contacts on the other side of the Atlantic, should the need arise.

This dimension of "new partnerships" will also be reflected in the desire to involve players from the academic world, such as the Institut des Amériques, who are likely to be interested in the Rencontres.

A call for papers has therefore been launched ; you can submit your proposals for activities by clicking on the following link before February 15, 2022: call for proposals Rencontres Montpellier Sherbrooke 2022.
