Review of the previous edition

For the 2023 edition, REGAL and AluQuébec, the Quebec Aluminium Cluster, have joined forces to host the INALCO 2023 conference, with which the JER has been paired.

JER's Mission

This annual activity presents an overview of university research conducted in the field of aluminium in Quebec. It is a unique opportunity for students, researchers, professionals, technicians and industry stakeholders to meet, discuss and share their knowledge about aluminium. Over the years, this day has become an anticipated event in the aluminium ecosystem in Quebec where students showcase their research. The JER was held in rotation in the various REGAL member institutions. The event was also paired on a few occasions with national and international activities (COM, CIAC, ICSOBA, ICAA, aluminium + colloquium).

REGAL 2024 Training Days (JFR)

In 2024, the REGAL student community will be able to attend the first edition of the conference “Progrès en développement durable : la science et le génie au service de la transition écologique et énergétique” (UQAC).
