Addressing them requires breaking down silos and bringing together diverse perspectives. With this in mind, CentrEau invites you to participate in its annual event, the Rendez-vous CentrEau, which will take place April 14â15 at the UniversitĂ© de Sherbrooke Longueuil campus. Under the theme âWater and Cross-Cutting Challenges: Understanding, Connecting, and Actingâ, this edition will focus on two key issues currently shaping the field: water data sharing and water deficits. Les dĂ©fis liĂ©s Ă lâeau ne connaissent pas de frontiĂšres sectorielles. Pour y faire face, il est essentiel de briser les silos et de croiser nos perspectives. Câest dans cet esprit que CentrEau vous invite Ă participer Ă son Ă©vĂ©nement annuel : le Rendez-vous CentrEau, qui se tiendra les 14 et 15 avril prochains au campus de Longueuil de lâUniversitĂ© de Sherbrooke.
