On July 31 and August 1, 2025, the Centre for Green Chemistry and Catalysis held its Summer School at the eco-resort Le Baluchon, nestled in the heart of the stunning Mauricie National Park. Organized by the CGCC student committee, the event brought together around sixty participants from our partner universities.

The program featured enriching scientific lectures, inspiring student presentations, and interactive activities like Human Bingo and the Rabaska canoe outing, which were met with great enthusiasm!

Among the highlights of the event, the 180 Seconds presentations challenged participants to clearly, dynamically, and concisely communicate their research. Congratulations to the winners of the best 180-second presentations!

This experience, educational, stimulating, and friendly, provided an ideal setting to foster discussions, build connections, and strengthen the CGCC network.

Congratulations to the student committee for their outstanding organization, and a big thank you to everyone who took part!
