New cooperation agreement with UQAR-ISMER in Quebec!

Minister D'Amour accompanied a large delegation from Quebec during a four-day visit to our country. The delegation learned more about the Flemish logistics sector with particular attention for the port facilities in Antwerp, Zeebrugge and Ghent. There was a lot of interest in education (with visits to the Centre for Maritime and Air Transport (UA-TPR) at the University of Antwerp and the marine consortium Marine@UGent of the Ghent University) and research (Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research (ILVO) in Ostend). The icing on the cake of this visit was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) and l’Institut des Sciences de la Mer de Rimouski, Québec (UQAR-ISMER).

L’Institut des Sciences de la Mer de Rimouski (UQAR-ISMER) of Québec is the most important university institute in marine sciences of Canada.
