About the Event À propos de l'événement

The INRS-EMT campus hosted the inaugural CEMDI Seminar Day on March 16, 2022, bringing together renowned researchers in computational chemistry and physics, material science, and artificial intelligence focusing on developing sustainable energy technologies to fight climate change.

This one-day event yielded several significant outcomes: promoting computational research activities at INRS, providing exposure to highly qualified personnel (HQP) at INRS-EMT, and creating collaboration opportunities. Influential experts from CEA France, McGill, NRC, PRIMA, Concordia University, Mila, UQTR, and Université de Montréal visited the center — some for the first time — presented talks and learned about ongoing activities.

INRS-EMT students not only presented talks but also actively participated, enthusiastically engaging in discussions with the esteemed speakers. The event brought together a diverse community of scholars, creating an environment conducive to interdisciplinary exchanges and potential partnerships.

Le campus INRS-EMT a accueilli la première Journée de séminaire CEMDI le 16 mars 2022, rassemblant des chercheurs renommés en chimie et physique computationnelles, en science des matériaux et en intelligence artificielle, axés sur le développement de technologies énergétiques durables pour lutter contre le changement climatique.

Cet événement d'une journée a produit plusieurs résultats significatifs : promotion des activités de recherche computationnelle à l'INRS, exposition du personnel hautement qualifié de l'INRS-EMT, et création d'opportunités de collaboration.
