Nature Positive Universities Alliance meeting in Quebec
November 26, 2024, 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
HEC MONTREAL DOWNTOWN
This event is primarily aimed at Quebec universities and CEGEPs that have signed the Nature Positive Universities (NPU) commitment, or that have undertaken a biodiversity approach or are in the process of doing so. This event will allow for the sharing of good practices in terms of biodiversity protection and conservation in institutional settings.
Participating on-site in this activity will allow you to network with other higher education institutions in your situation, will offer you opportunities for collaboration, and will allow you to meet, at the end of the day, the participants of the Nature & Enterprise Summit , that is to say professionals from the biodiversity sector in Quebec.
