INRS joins the ORCID Canada Consortium

The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN)  is pleased to announce that the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) has joined the ORCID Canada Consortium. 

INRS is the first institution in the Université du Québec system to join this national initiative, which already includes more than 50 universities, funding agencies, and research institutions across the country. 

Specializing in research and graduate training, INRS has played a key role in Quebec’s economic, social, and cultural development since its creation in 1969. It plans to integrate ORCID services to better capture and promote the achievements of its faculty community and increase its institutional visibility. 

INRS is made up of five interdisciplinary research and training centers located in Quebec City, Montreal, Laval, Varennes, and Charlevoix, which focus their activities on strategic sectors: Water, Earth, Environment; Energy, Materials, Telecommunications; Urbanization, Culture, Society; Armand-Frappier Health, Biotechnology; and Sustainable Rural Development. Its community has nearly 1,500 members, including students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty members, and staff.
