On February 4, 2025, was held the 5th GERAD Student Day. First time in the wake of the pandemic, the event was a great success. Integrated into the thematic semester on energy transition, the activity brought together some 50 people, 21 of whom were directly involved in the event (13 oral presentations and 8 posters).

Here are the winners of the Thematic scholarships competition, as part of a Stratégia project, Modélisation des défis émergents, supported by the CRM, GERAD and Réseau Unique.

Digital intelligence has the power to support the transition to a circular economy. This is the conclusion reached by Jessy Anglehart-Nunes, PhD student in environmental engineering, Mathias Glaus, professor in environmental engineering, and Emmanuel Raufflet and Olivier Bahn, professors at HEC Montréal, in this article from The Conversation Canada.

They believe that the ability to use data and mathematical decision-support methods are key to the transition. Discover their thoughts following the exchanges held at the joint CIRODD, GERAD and RRECQ symposium, held in March 2024. Thanks to Maïka Lamoureux and Rachida Bouhid for their note-taking support at the event!
