In remembrance of December 6

NOTICE – The Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) was established on June 1, 2024, in accordance with the Act to amend the Act respecting the Ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation with respect to research. The Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT), the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture (FRQSC) have since been regrouped into the new FRQ, which continues their existence. The rights and obligations of the FRQNT, FRQS and FRQSC have become those of the FRQ; activities continue as usual.

Please note that if you come across an old name or logo of one of the Fonds de recherche du Québec in the program rules or on the website, it should now read as follows:

The FRQNT becomes the Nature et technologies sector;
The FRQS becomes the Santé sector;
The FRQSC becomes the Société et culture sector.

Thank you for your understanding.

Year after year, December 6 is an opportunity to mark the memory of the 14 young women who were murdered while studying engineering at École Polytechnique Montréal, 32 years ago now. Their memory will never leave us. To pay tribute to them, we encourage all women to pursue the path they are passionate about, whether in engineering or in any other scientific field.
