Leadership and civic responsibility
These presentations are part of the course Leadership and civic responsibility, which aims to broaden the minds of students, develop their leadership and critical thinking to become the leaders of tomorrow. Thus, many experts, professors and researchers are invited to ÉTS to raise awareness among the next generation of engineers regarding increasingly complex societal issues. All of this is made possible thanks to the Jarislowsky Foundation.
