Université Laval will be establishing the Institut des matériaux durables. This $1.2M project will bring several materials-focused research centres together, including centres in key areas such as wood, plastics, aluminum, and optical fibres. The institute will be a hub where research, industrial partnerships, and training will come together to inform those addressing the challenges of the future. The hub will develop solutions that will improve the performance, durability, and environmental impact of materials in strategic sectors. QC will provide $450K to support the institute’s creation.
