Encouraging philanthropy and bringing together INRS alumni

Established in 2020 and governed by an independent board of directors, the INRS Foundation seeks to accelerate the growth of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) by enhancing its profile with decision-makers in the business and philanthropic communities. It does this by building relationships, developing partnerships, and soliciting, administering, and distributing the funds raised.

The Foundation also showcases INRS alumni and allows them to keep in touch with their community. It shares news and activities, keeps them abreast of advances in research and development, fosters collaboration, and supports their professional development.

The Foundation encourages special relationships aimed at cultivating a sense of commitment, belonging, and pride among the graduates of its four research centers: Eau Terre Environnement, Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications, Armand-Frappier Santé Biotechnologie, and Urbanisation Culture Société.

The INRS Foundation is a charity registered with the Canada Revenue Agency under the number 725310676 RR 0001.
