Collaborations UGent – Québec

During a site visit in the harbor of Ghent (23 March 2015), we had the opportunity to meet with the Québec delegation (ambassador) in order to discuss future collaborations between Flanders and Québec, especially within the fields of marine and maritime sciences.

Were present at the meeting :

Michel Audet (Director General of Quebec in Brussels); Frédéric Tremblay (Dir. Bilateral affairs); Baudouin van Rijckevorsel (Economic Affairs), Stéphanie Franssen (Att. Bilateral Affairs), Aurélie Duchateau (DIV), Daan Schalck (ceo Havenbedrijf Gent), Dirk Vernaeve (havenkapitein-commandant), Peter Mortier (Adj. Directeur Generaal), Prof. Jan Mees (UGent – directeur VLIZ), Prof. E. Somers (UGent) en Prof. M. Vincx (UGent - voorzitter  marineatugent).

In case of interest with collaborations with Québec Universitities, Institutes, you can forward your questions to us or directly to Aurelie.duchateau@iv.vlaanderen.be.

At this moment there is an open call for collaborations within the framework of the FWO bilateral cooperation (http://www.fwo.be/en/news/calls/bilaterale-cooperation-quebec/).
