Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) and Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec en Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue (UQAT) launches a joint research unit (UMR) in Indigenous Studies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

INRS and UQAT are developing a joint research unit at the crossroads of scientific and Indigenous knowledge. UQAT serves a large Indigenous population and is a leader in research, education, and services for, by, and with Indigenous peoples. INRS has also developed extensive expertise on Indigenous issues at the Urbanisation Culture Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Research Centre. The goal of this UMR is to further strengthen Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue as a centre of excellence in research on Indigenous issues in areas such as education, territory, self-determination, revitalization of Indigenous languages, modern urban life, and others by fostering co-construction of knowledge that will benefit all of Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The INRS-UQAT Joint Research Unit will promote dialogue and knowledge sharing between all communities. It will also help train the next generation of local scientists in a crucial field for Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development of the INRS-UQAR Joint Research Unit in Indigenous Studies was made possible thanks to initial funding of $3 million from the Government of Qu\u00e9bec.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This funding by Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Enseignement sup\u00e9rieur<\/a> du Qu\u00e9bec will make it possible to create three professorships at the INRS Urbanisation Culture Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Research Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These professors will work as part of the UMR from UQAT<\/a>\u2019s Val-d\u2019Or campus. The UMR\u2019s mission is to conduct multidisciplinary graduate-level research and educational activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
