REGAL Students’ day 2016: a success !
The 13th edition of the REGAL Students’ Day was held on October 03, 2016 at Palace Royal Hotel, located in Québec City and under the chairmanship of Prof. Houshang Alamdari [Laval University]. The event was organized during the 34th ICSOBA conference & exhibition. During the day, 154 people from academic, industrial and research communities have witnessed the quality of the research conducted within the Aluminium Research Centre – REGAL, besides the 220 ICSOBA delegates.
REGAL would like to thank its sponsors who, each year, allow the holding of this event highly appreciated by our students.
