Responsable du colloque: Benhaddadi M., Cégep du Vieux-Montréal

I – Description du Colloque  Ce colloque a pour objectif d’établir un large échange sur les performances, les défis, les contraintes et les questionnements au sujet de l'intégration des étudiants dans la recherche au collégial dans le domaine des sciences naturelles, des mathématiques et du génie,  Ce colloque propose de réunir un nombre important et diversifié de partenaires issus de Centres de transfert de technologie CCCT, de Chaires de recherches industrielles, de collèges publics et privés pour présenter leurs expériences dans l’encadrement d’étudiants de différents niveaux (collégial, 1er cycle universitaire, 2e cycle, 3e cycle et stagiaires internationaux),  Les échanges porteront notamment sur : le recrutement des étudiants, les tâches assignées, le financement, l’encadrement, les contraintes, les histoires à succès/échecs, etc.  Les échanges permettront d’établir des constats sur : les expériences réussies par les uns et transposables aux autres, ce qui fonctionne moins bien chez les uns et les autres  Le colloque permettra de dégager des pistes de réflexion pour aider les chercheurs à surmonter certains obstacles et à améliorer leur encadrement,  Le colloque permettra aussi aux collèges de mieux gérer l’implication des étudiants dans la recherche et de tirer profit de l’intégration des résultats de la recherche dans la pédagogie,  Ce colloque sera l’occasion pour les étudiants de différents niveaux académiques de venir présenter les résultats de leurs travaux de recherche.

This year’s keynote event - “A Conversa- tion about Doubt” - promises a candid discussion on one of humanity’s most persistent and stubborn states of mind: doubt. Internationally-renowned philosopher Simon Critchley (New School for Social Research, NYC) speaks with professor Lili Petrovic from the Vanier College Humanities Department, pondering and per- plexing over what, if anything, can be said, with any degree of certainty, about the nature of our doubting. All presentations take place in the Vanier Auditorium (A-103) FRIDAY, FEB 5 For more information, please contact Lili Petrovic at: 10h00-11h30 LUCIAN TURCESCU, PhD [email protected] (CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY) Resistance or Collaboration of Churches under Communism in Romania?

Christian churches and other religious groups resisted or collaborated with the communist authorities during the period 1945-1989, when the country was under communist rule. It will begin from a more general perspective about dealing with the past, providing explanations and il- lustrations from around the world about why it is important for countries to consider their sometimes painful past and how they do it (e.g. South Africa’s and Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commissions); then, consider how Eastern European countries have coped with their painful past after transitioning from communism to western-style liberal pects of science that are less than certain and that should plines continue to propose new possibilities that create creative thinking: it is a liberation from imposed prejudice.
