9th Regional Leaders Summit

From 16 to 18 May, 2018, the Regional Leaders Summit was held in Québec. This marked the ninth  meeting of the Regional Leaders Summit, and the theme was ''Energy Transition: Towards a Low-Carbon Economy''. 

Surrounding and embedded within the 9th Regional Leaders Summit were a number of  scientific activities, including the inaugural RLS-Energy Network Summer School, a Digitization Day hosted by FRQNT, the second Global Aerospace Campus Summer Summit, a Small Satellites project meeting, and a multilateral research project presentation to the RLS heads of government. Read more about the 2018 RLS-Sciences activities here and learn more about the 9th RLS here. 

About RLS- Sciences

The Regional Leaders Summit (RLS) is a forum comprising seven regional governments: Bavaria (Germany), Georgia (USA), Québec (Canada), São Paulo (Brazil), Shandong (China), Upper Austria (Austria), and Western Cape (South Africa). Within the framework of RLS, RLS-Sciences seeks to leverage the unique composition and strengths of the RLS network to support scientific research within and between the RLS regions. The goal is to generate and support academic, scientific, and technological exchanges, as well as the initiation of multilateral research projects. RLS-Sciences is comprised of its scientific network, the existing bilateral relationships between the RLS members, and its four research projects: RLS-Energy Network (the RLS-Sciences pilot project), the RLS-Expert Dialogue on Digitization, the RLS-Global Aerospace Campus, and RLS-Small Satellites.
