“Since 2014, the CMDO community has had the privilege of welcoming the next generation of scientists from France (ICAN) during a student exchange that goes far beyond the transfer of knowledge. During the activities surrounding the winter camp, a flagship activity of our network, friendships are created, leading for some to sustained scientific collaborations and having an incredible leverage effect for CMDO research internationally. This French-speaking Quebec week is often a milestone for our campers, whether they are from France or Quebec, combining a cultural experience with a first-rate multidisciplinary scientific immersion. Long live this student exchange for the benefit of international research at the CMDO. »
