The Institut national de la recherche scientifique and Fonds de recherche du Québec have partnered to support FRQ’s scientist-in-residence program in municipal contexts. The partners aim to improve the experience of scientists-in-residence by providing them with tools to better address municipal issues using initiatives including expanded access to resources and databases, continuous training, and support for communities of practice. Amélie Forget, directrice d’implantation for the Centre Ruralités durables de l’INRS, explained that by providing scientific resources and a community of practice in the municipal context, the partners will be able to strengthen decision-making abilities to improve their impact on the public.
