Science poster competition
Are you an Undergraduate or a Master's student and want to develop your scientific communication skills?
Participate in the next Poster Competition which will take place on November 11, 2025 (Pavillon A).
The goal of the competition is to introduce complex scientific notions in easy-to-understand language. You can choose to present –in lay terms–a topic related to your ongoing research project. You must give an individual or group oral presentation with the help of a poster to showcase your work. The presentations will be delivered in French or English and will be assessed by a jury.
