How will electricity be generated in a sustainable future? Thanks to renewable energies!
The Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles' UNEVOC center, in collaboration with the Nergica college technology transfer center, invites you to a webinar on renewable energies and their contribution to a sustainable future for us all.
We'll start by defining the different kinds of renewable energy sources that exist (wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, hydrogen, etc.), then discuss their importance for producing electricity in a green and sustainable way, as well as their benefits for our planet.
You'll also have the chance to discover what's happening in renewable energy research in Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. We'll take you to the top of wind turbines and a visit to a solar farm.
Finally, we'll explore the presence of renewable energies around the world and in our daily lives, and potentially in our future!

This webinar will be presented by Alexandra Gellé, Knowledge Mobilization Officer at Nergica. Alexandra's curiosity and passion for science know no bounds. Parallel to her PhD in green chemistry and nanoscience, Alexandra worked as a science communicator. She joined the Nergica team as a knowledge mobilization officer to promote renewable energies and the research team's expertise in this field. Alexandra loves living in Gaspé, Quebec, where she can enjoy the sea and the mountains, on a paddleboard or skis.
Yanick Paquet will be the second presenter of this webinar. A seasoned scientist, Yanick joined Nergica with extensive experience in the design and implementation of research projects. Working with specialized equipment being second nature to him, he quickly found a niche in the installation and commissioning of specialized instrumentation in large wind turbines. Curious, persevering and perceptive, Yanick is a gifted problem-solver! With a keen analytical mind, he also has a passion for analyzing complex data.
