Program

These two-week programs provide participants with a privileged opportunity to reflect on the essential concepts and the fundamental tools of knowledge creation and sharing, sustainable development values and drivers, and cultural and social innovation.

Most of the academic materials and business cases used in the courses relate to business experience in the city of Montréal, a world-renowned know-how hub for the innovative multimedia, gaming, arts, circus, and cultural events sectors. Montréal is also a city in which projects involving sustainability and social awareness have a strong voice. 

The Summer School is made possible through the collaboration of four centres of expertise: GRIDD (Sustainability Research Group), CRISES (Social Economy Research Group), MOSAIC (Management of Creativity Center) and the Carmelle and Rémi Marcoux Chair in Arts Management
