For the year 2024-2025, seminar series are orginzed in each of the poles, in order to present a greater variety of topics throughout the year.
- The seminars of the Quantum Institute and 3IT in Sherbrooke will be organized according to the invited professors
- The seminars of the Center for the Physics of Materials of McGill every Thursday at 10:30 a.m. https://www.physics.mcgill.ca/seminars/CPM.html#CPM
- The seminars of the Montreal Thin Film Group (GCM) are every two Monday at 9:30 a.m. (Université de Montréal campus MIL, or Polytechnique pavillon J.A. Bombardier)
