This scholarship program aims to fund research stays that promote the sharing of infrastructure within the RQEI

With the intention of creating a province-wide laboratory without walls for our graduate and graduate students, the main objective of ^{this program is to offer scholarships to students for short-term experimental stays.} These grants are intended to promote the sharing of research infrastructure, both human and material. These scholarships will finance travel, accommodation and meal expenses to enable our young researchers to travel to the Network’s institutions located in cities other than their home universities to conduct research activities related to their master’s or doctoral project. This scholarship program will promote learning and skills consolidation among students as well as knowledge exchange, the development of interinstitutional relations and collaboration among RQEI members.

Total envelope for this competition: $20,000

$1100 scholarships for trips of less than 300 km (e.g.: Trois-Rivières↔, Montreal or Montreal↔, Quebec)

Scholarships of $1600 for trips of more than 300 km (e.g.: Montreal↔Sept-Îles).

Financed stays

The student was able to observe and perform the manipulations as described in the project schedule. This allowed him to work with an
unconventional strain for the first time and thus gain experience in a booming field, the production of
biofuels. This stay also allowed him to observe facilities for pilot-scale testing and to follow
technicians and researchers with extensive expertise in the field of scale-up. In addition, the last day of her
stay also allowed her to get in touch with the researchers present on site in order to evaluate potential avenues concerning
a transition to a doctorate within the college centre for technology transfer that is the CNETE. In particular, he was able to acquire knowledge of
the various projects underway at the CNETE in the fields of
fermentation, industrial bioprocesses and molecular biology.
