The CEN's annual conference is held every year in mid-February. In keeping with the spirit of collaboration that characterizes the Center, the event is organized alternately between Université Laval—the CEN's host university—and one of its partner universities. This gathering brings together all members: researchers, students, postdoctoral fellows, research professionals, and representatives from partner organizations. It is an important opportunity for networking, scientific exchange, and the development of collaborations.
