Stéphane Pallage, rector of the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and former CIRANO Fellow, gave a lecture at the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal on September 7. 

An inspiring conference on Quebec and its metropolis in light of the major current challenges and innovative solutions that must be put in place, whether for the revitalization of the downtown area, the increase in the number of health professionals, or the francization and attraction of francophones to the job market.

For the occasion, several CIRANO members including Nathalie de Marcellis-Warin, Raquel Fonseca, Sophie Osotimehin, Florian Mayneris, Dalibor Stevanovic, Marie Connolly and Nicolas Charette were present.
