SPU at ACFAS!
Our professors are participating in the 85th annual congress of the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas) at McGill University's campus in the heart of downtown Montreal from May 8-12, 2017.
Acfas is a Quebec-based non-profit organization promoting science in all disciplines, including humanities and social sciences, as well as interdisciplinary research. Its annual congress brings together some 5,000 or more French-speaking researchers from around the globe – indeed it is the largest French-language activity of its kind in the world.
The following is an overview of some of their activities:
