Virtual simultaneous interpretation services for scientific conferences…

The fish stock assessment meetings held in the Québec region are annual scientific events led by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Their purpose is to evaluate fish population status and provide recommendations based on scientific data in marine biology and physical oceanography. These assessments play a critical role in the sustainable management of fishery resources.

Meetings are recorded and may be used as reference in legal proceedings, if necessary. Given the importance of these for the fishing industry and other stakeholders, it is essential to provide linguistic accessibility by offering simultaneous interpretation services in both official languages of Canada (French and English).

Scientific conferences hosted by the Maurice Lamontagne Institute are high-level events that bring together researchers, experts, government representatives, and members of the fishing industry to discuss issues related to marine ecosystems. Theses meetings are an opportunity to share the latest findings in marine biology, oceanography, fisheries resource management, and environmental science.
