Welcome to the 2023 GRIL Annual Symposium website!

The 32^th GRIL Annual Symposium will take place at the Campus MIL of the Université de Montréal!

The 2023 symposium will be a special one because it help us work towards the FRQNT funding pre-application to be submitted in May 2023, with the full application for the GRIL renewal for FRQNT funding in October 2023. We therefore invite the members of the GRIL's Scientific Steering Committee to join us this year.
