AIAQ in collaboration with IRDA organize on November 19 an event on management and transformation of agri-food and agricultural residues for different markets (energy, fertilization, animal feed, etc.). Eleven conferences will be held at the Complexe scientifique in Quebec City. You can visit AIAQ website for more details and to register.

AIAQ in collaboration with MAPAQ also organize a 3-day training session on water management in agricultural lands (mainly drainage). An on-field visit is scheduled to be part of the course. A pre-registration period is open to help AIAQ to plan the event based on the number of interested engineers. You can follow this link to have more details.
