If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bon matin/après-midi, Il me fait plaisir d'annoncer qu'encore une fois cette année, les IRSC offriront des sessions d'information pour les étudiants et les employés des établissements universitaires au sujet des programmes de bourses de formation des IRSC et des récentes modifications qui y ont été apportées. De l'information sera également offerte au sujet des politiques des IRSC, des conseils pour les candidats et des lignes directrices pour soumettre une demande. Ces séances seront interactives et il y aura de nombreuses occasions de poser des questions. Ces séances permettront à tous les participants d'assister et de participer à la discussion qui sera appuyée par une présentation PowerPoint. Les établissements sont encouragés à fournir l'accès à un emplacement où tous les élèves pourront assister à la session dans un même endroit. Cependant, les étudiants peuvent aussi participer individuellement. Les participants doivent avoir accès à un ordinateur avec une connexion Internet afin de joindre la séance et visualiser la présentation PowerPoint. Les questions peuvent être adressées aux IRSC via la fonction de « chat » du webinaire. Si vous et/ou votre établissement désirez participer à l'un de ces webinaires, veuillez suivre les instructions ci-dessous afin de vous inscrire à l'une des trois séances.
