Launch of Québec Research Institute

The Government of Canada and the Government of Québec have each announced $8 million in additional funding to complete the financing required to build the Institut nordique du Québec (INQ) science complex.

A call for tenders for the construction of this $105 million project on the Université Laval campus will be launched shortly, according to UArctic.

Slated to open in 2026, this science complex, the only one of its kind in Canada, will serve as a North American hub for collaborative northern and Arctic research. It will house state-of-the-art analytical laboratories as well as a logistics centre for preparing maritime and land missions to the Arctic.

In addition to facilitating large-scale interdisciplinary research projects, the complex will also foster synergy between the academic, private, and public sectors and enrich the training of a new generation of researchers.
