GEODES Research Retreat at Station Biologiques des Laurentides
Our group is organizing a 3-day research retreat at the Station Biologique des Laurentides from Friday, September 5 to Sunday, September 7.
The Station Biologique des Laurentides (SBL) is a field station of the Université de Montréal located in Saint-Hippolyte, about 90 km north of Montréal. Surrounded by forests and lakes, it offers a peaceful and stimulating environment for scientific discussions, seminars, and collaborative work.
The GEODES Research Group will hold its Annual Research Retreat there from September 5 to 7. This event is an opportunity to reflect on past achievements, plan research directions for the coming year, and strengthen collaborations within the group.
