The Université du Québec – Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) is the research-oriented branch of Université du Québec that only offers graduate studies. INRS conducts research in four broad sectors: water, earth and the environment; energy, materials and telecommunications; human, animal and environmental health; and urbanization, culture and society.

Dedicated to research and advanced training, the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) is present where issues of society require. Dynamic and innovative, the INRS has redesigned its organization to meet the challenges of the 21st century bringing together scientific teams working in complementary areas. In from eight to four research centers, the Institute enhances its research and training, in addition to increasing its capacity to intervene in strategic areas for the future of Quebec:

• Water Earth Environment
• Telecommunications Energy Materials
• Human Health, Animal and Environmental
• Urbanization Culture Society.

Scholarships and Student Aid

INRS strongly encourages students to take advantage of programs scholarship organizations private or public subsidies. Furthermore, the INRS has for several years, a financial support program whose main objective is to enable students to devote full time to their studies and research that entails.

The program funding is for:

• regular student – Those students admitted and enrolled in an administrative and pedagogical course that INRS alone is responsible
• students enrolled via distance learning in a master’s programs and / or PhD program outside the center of INRS – These are students enrolled in master’s or doctoral program at another university and who, under the responsibility of a professor at INRS, just perform in one of its centers an internship that contributes to the achievement of their memory or their thesis.

Research

The INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier Research Centre, a component of the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), plays a vital role in research, training and technology transfers conducted in Quebec in the areas of human, animal and environmental health. INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier, which has approximately fifty faculty members, uses its extensive expertise in immunology and microbiology to determine the impact of infectious pathogens, cancer cells or organ transplants on the immune system, as well as to characterize various immune effector cells.

Using various models and epidemiological analyses, the Centre conducts research into environmental toxicology and biotechnology with a view to identify and characterize the impact of environmental pollutants on human health. Research activities are also geared towards improving the quality of the environment using biotechnology and microorganisms to manage major problems caused by pollution. In parallel, researchers at INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier are involved in the development of functional foods and new methods of food conservation, given the illnesses they can cause. In addition, researchers at INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier focus on the development and mode of action of drugs and other bioactive molecules.

The INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier research centre is renowned both locally and internationally for its biomedical expertise and represents a vital crossroad for health-related research in Quebec. Members of the Centre’s team have exceptional, even unique, analytical capabilities in the fields of chemistry, microbiology and immunology, genomics and proteomics as well as molecular and cellular biology. The established credibility of the Centre’s doping control laboratory played a key role in the World Anti-Doping Agency’s decision to establish its headquarters in Montreal. In addition, on the strength of its expertise in immunity, infectious diseases and cancer as well as its solid experience in using animal models, the National Centre for Experimental Biology – a major project funded by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation and the Quebec government – was set up on the City of Laval campus. The INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier research centre is also one of the cornerstones in the development of the City of Biotechnology and Human Health of Metropolitan Montreal, an initiative promoted by INRS.

In Algeria, Benin, China, Côte d’Ivoire, Djibouti, France, Gabon, Madagascar, Mali, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia and Zaire, they are nearly 200 annually, to enjoy a middle school and be more active and beneficial, in addition to a diverse array of programs at all academic levels.

On the other hand, students can UQAC, too, open to the world. Indeed, many of them decide each year to pursue part of their plan to study outside of Quebec. Scholarships, worth $750 or $1,000 per month, are also allocated to those who want the challenge of studying abroad.

In addition, the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi opens its training programs in partnership with universities in Morocco, Lebanon, Brazil, China, Colombia and Senegal. They are so many students from around the world enrolled in more than 20 educational programs on sectors of economic and administrative sciences, information technology management, education, regional development, study companies and computer, and at different academic levels.

Finally, the presence of our office for international cooperation facilitates the development of new institutional linkages at the international level, identification of sources of funding and exchange programs for students and teachers as well as assistance with export training programs.

Research

In aspects devoted to research, the Deanship of Graduate Studies and Research cultivates its supporting role to its scholarly community, managing the internal politics of research and participating in intramural funding of individual researchers and its teams of researchers, particularly through the Program for Institutional Research (PAIR) and program grant from the Foundation of the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi (FUQAC).

The team also provides deanship tangible support to researchers who wish to receive a notice about the implementation of their research designs for submission to granting councils and funding, this could result in a commented reading, developing writing strategies, the ‘scaffolding of a financial or even direct assistance in the drafting of a first request for new researchers. By maintaining the strategic research, which announces the key priorities of the institution, the team finally dean provides researchers with an optimal positioning of their work against the targeted orientation.

The excellence of scientific activity, the contribution of research to the quality of teaching and research contributions to the advancement of knowledge and development of the community are the three main objectives in this area of ‘scholarship by the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi. These objectives, UQAC food by the development of areas and research directions which are grafted programs of graduate studies. These research directions often elsewhere to plug the middle of implantation UQAC. Thus, the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, considered as basic functional unit of the social and economic life, becomes an operational concept and a privileged laboratory to lead to knowledge of universal significance. The result is conclusive: more research programs, regional connotation to attract the attention of Canadian and foreign scientists for their excellence and their interest in terms of general knowledge.

Internships and Jobs

It is possible to do internships in several programs of study offered at UQAC. This mode of training is central to education because it allows students to combine theoretical knowledge acquired in class to the requirements of the workplace.
