Collaborator members

Posted on | by Hex_Admin
Researchers collaborating with regular Hexagram members

Collaborators are professors, researchers, creators, and professionals from the university community, practice environments, and cultural and industrial organizations from Quebec and from international organizations and institutions. They share their expertise, and work directly and in a sustained manner with at least one Hexagram co-investigator. They must, for example, co-direct a student member’s research project, have co-signed a research grant or major funding application, publish joint research or creation results, jointly organize a major activity, regularly participate in Research-Creation programming, etc.

Collaborator membership is granted by the Hexagram Co-Directors when an active collaboration with a Network co-investigator is demonstrated. Individual collaborator membership proposals must be recommended by at least one co-investigator by completing the membership proposal form. Applicants must provide the information requested by the Network coordinators and, if needed, complete any administrative requirements from the FRQSC. Their scientific outcomes are not evaluated, but they must maintain an active and proven link with co-investigators or with the Network. The Network Co-directors may reassess the status of the collaborator at the middle and/or the end of the funding cycle. To update a collaborator member’s profile, please fill this form.
