Media advisory: 成人VR视频 launches Quebec Centre for Biodiversity Science

Published: 12 February 2010

The United Nations declared 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity, a celebration of life on Earth and of the value of biodiversity for all. In this spirit, 成人VR视频 is proud to launch the Quebec Centre for Biodiversity Science (QCBS) bringing together more than 60 scientists from eight academic institutions (Bishop鈥檚 University, Concordia University, 成人VR视频, Universit茅 de Montr茅al, Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Rimouski, Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al, Universit茅 Laval and Universit茅 de Sherbrooke), in collaboration with the Montreal Botanical Garden and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

The last decade has seen the development of impressive research in biodiversity science within Quebec with outstanding scientists working at the forefront of the field both nationally and internationally. These researchers, however, were scattered across numerous universities, government organizations and nongovernmental agencies 鈥 until now. To foster collaboration, the Fonds qu茅b茅cois de la recherche sur la nature et les technologies supported the creation of the QCBS currently hosted by 成人VR视频鈥檚 Department of Biology.
