From 16 to 20 March 2026, the H2O’Lyon Graduate School and its partners are organizing an open university week to coincide with World Water Day on 22 March.

 

This event explores how collaborative frameworks are transforming research and action practices by breaking down knowledge silos and embracing the concept of networks. 

Drawing on two major Quebec initiatives — the Quebec Intersectoral Flood Network (RIISQ) and the Interuniversity Research Group on Limnology (GRIL) — the discussions will feature contributions from Maxime Boivin (Université du Québec à Chicoutimi) and Pascal Biron (Concordia University).

The international discussion will be co-moderated by Marie Nadisic (H2O Lyon) and Elodie Brelot (GRAGIE), as part of the Interface network. 

 

Maxime Boivin is currently a 2025-2026 Fellow at the Collegium de Lyon. A professor and researcher specialising in geography and hydrogeomorphology, he has led a research team focusing on the geomorphology and dynamics of gravel rivers at the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi (Quebec, Canada) since 2017.
