NA-MIC Project Weeks

Welcome to the web page for the 43rd Project Week!

This event will take place June 23rd - June 27th, 2025 in Montreal, Canada, in person. More details will be posted on this page as the event approaches. If you have any questions, you can contact the organizers.

Location

École de Technologie Supérieure (ETS), Montreal, Canada - E Building

The images below show how to get to the Project Week 43 conference room. If you Google “ETS”, it will take you to the main building of the university (1). You need to walk about 200 meters to get to the building called “Maison des étudiants” (2). Enter the building and either climb the stairs or take the elevator on the right to reach the second floor(3). From there, you should easily find the registration desk.
