REGAL Students’ day 2017

Conferences Innovation Students

The 14th edition of the REGAL Students’ Day was held on September 27 at Polytechnique Montréal, under the chairmanship of Pr. Myriam Brochu. In parallèle with his event, The Aluminium Research Centre – REGAL also organized a formation on the use of aluminium in the maritime sector.

Together, these 2 events brought more than 150 people from the academic, industrial and aluminium research communities.

REGAL would like to thank its sponsors who allow the holding of these events.
