Welcome to the Research Chair INFRA-S website !
The Chair INFRA-S on social value of infrastructures was founded on February 28, 2023 by the Board of Directors of UQAM. The Chair INFRA-S offers a pragmatic approach, multidisciplinary and co-construction of knowledge in order to:
• Enlighten key actors of the infrastructure ecosystem on the ways to meet social challenges and;
• Empower these key actors with tools to integrate best practices that support social value of infrastructures and more responsible governance, to meet the Sustainable Development Goals and the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment.
The Chair is in line with the objectives of UQAM and ESG, which aim to promote collaborative research, the development of governance and a sustainable living environment.
