Workshops and trainings are offered to our students by the Wellness Unit (CIME) and INRS Student Life Services. You will receive an email from the Student Life Services with program and scheduling information. You can also consult the program on this page and in our Events section. Some activities are offered in French. See the schedule →
French courses offered each term
Your knowledge of the French language is limited? It is possible and even recommended to start or continue learning French. INRS offers free French courses each term for all levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). You will receive an email from Student Life Services at the beginning of each term to inform you of the French courses offered.
French is the official language in Quebec, although it is generally possible, especially in Montreal, to function in English. If you already speak French, you may have questions about certain Quebec words and expressions. To help you, or simply out of curiosity, consult this small Quebec lexicon (lexique québécois).
Writing support
Is writing papers and thesis a real challenge? Become a member of Thèsez-vous, which offers various types of writing tools and activities. You pay for your subscription to Thèsez-vous, and then INRS allocates you a fixed number of scholarship codes for registration to Thèsez-vous activities. To have access to scholarship codes, you must be registered in an INRS study program.
If you have any questions concerning the attribution of scholarship codes, please write to bbve.sesre@inrs.ca.
For any question related to the activities offered by Thèsez-vous, write to info@thesez-vous.com
Writing without plagiarizing: the student’s responsibility
Whether you are preparing an academic paper, a scientific article, your dissertation or your thesis, you have a responsibility to avoid plagiarism.
INRS checks your texts and does not tolerate plagiarism (see section 11.12 of the Règlement sur les études supérieures). INRS provides students with a plagiarism detection tool called iThenticate. It is possible to verify the originality of your texts before submitting them.
For training or to obtain access, write to sdis@inrs.ca.
Un logiciel pour détecter le plagiat
INRS provides students with a plagiarism detection tool called Compilatio. It is possible to verify the originality of texts, to obtain help to elaborate a bibliography correctly, to estimate the percentage of similarities, to verify the borrowed sources and more. But beware! Although useful for school work, the software is less suitable for research publications, scientific articles and theses.
For access to Compilatio, contact sve@inrs.ca. For context-sensitive training, email sdis@inrs.ca.
