Results – CRIR 2024 Student Colloquium

  

On March 19, over 30 people attended the “3-minute (180-second) Elevator-Pitch” at the CRIR-IURDPM | Institut de réadaptation Gingras-Lindsay-de-Montréal (IRGLM), presented as part of the CRIR 2024 Student Colloquium organized by members of the CRIR student committee.

Eight master’s and doctoral students from Université de Montréal and McGill University demonstrated their “savoir-faire” and “savoir-être” in front of an enthusiastic audience and an experienced jury made up of three CRIR-IURDPM researchers: Marika Demers, Ph.D., Marie-France Deschênes, Inf., Ph.D., and Dahlia Kairy, pht, Ph.D..

The colloquium, which was brilliantly animated by student Pauline Lemersre (under the supervision of Anne Hudon, pht, Ph.D., CRIR-IURDPM researcher), had the opportunity to offer to the audience the lecture “Le FLOW”, presented by the energetic Patrick Hébert, project manager at Carrefour des savoirs.

This face-to-face colloquium was a great way to meet and network with the CRIR family and the RÉA Foundation team, who honoured us with their presence!

Many thanks and warm congratulations to all the students who presented their research projects, to the evaluators, to the Carrefour des savoirs team for sharing their expertise, and to all the members of the student committee for their energy and commitment in carrying out activities for their peers.
