The CEN greatly contributed to mentoring a course entitled Introduction to Northern Research Issues organized by the INQ from May 6 to 10, 2019 in Quebec City. The course objectives were to fully prepare researchers to work in a northern context, in difficult field conditions, and to help them learn how to establish meaningful relationships and partnerships with northerners. Nine of the 22 mentors were CEN members, including establlished researchers, research staff and grad students. CEN was able to share its northern expertise and know-how, and therefore contribute to the training of future northern researchers!
