The journal “education relative à l’environnement” celebrates 25 years at UQAM

The education relative à l’environnement journal marks a quarter-century of dedication to research and practices in the field of environmental education. Founded in 1998 at the university of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM), it remains the only scholarly journal in the french language dedicated to this field of study.

Following the presentation, a roundtable discussion on “The future of research journals: current challenges and issues at the heart of the francophonie” will take place. Participants in this discussion include madame Louise Poissant (scientific director, fonds de recherche du Québec – society and culture), Madame Sophie Montreuil (director of Acfas), mr. Vincent Larivière (university of Montreal), and mr. Yves Gingras (university of Quebec in Montreal). madame Louise Vandelac (Institute of environmental science, UQAM) will moderate the exchanges.

After the guest presentations, the audience is invited to engage in an interactive discussion about the current challenges facing francophone scholarly journals.
