JER 2025 + Colloque Métaux et Polymères

This year, REGAL's annual event is being combined with the Colloque Métaux et Polymères, the 6th metallurgical conference coordinated by the Centre de métallurgie du Québec. This provides a unique opportunity for our student community to meet researchers, professionals, technicians, professors, and industry stakeholders. It also provides excellent visibility for our members, with access to all activities.

About Colloque Métaux et Polymères

Particularly in 2025, the current economic and political context presents a very different reality from what has been experienced so far, with delicate situations in which customs tariffs, for example, redirect decisions when they don't paralyze them. They bring considerable uncertainty and require intensified efforts to find new trading partners.

How can the industry adapt to these various changes? The commitment of the partners presenting this unifying conference demonstrates their desire to act together to bring together industry stakeholders and offer a diverse program tailored to the challenges and including avenues for reflection and solutions in the face of the industry's current reality, which is experiencing its share of uncertainties and unforeseen events.

In addition to the original partners and those who have joined the organization of the metallurgical conference in recent years, particularly for the 2021 special edition co-presented with JER2021/REGAL, new collaborators are joining: CQFA and COALIA, CRITM and PRIMA. This new collaboration highlights other applications in metallic materials, particularly for additive manufacturing and critical and strategic minerals (CSM), as well as for the polymer sector, in applications serving the metallurgical industry.
