November 17 2015, Frédéric Bouchard, professor of philosophy and first holder of the Esope Chair at Université de Montréal (UdeM), has been named Deputy Vice-Rector for Research, Creation, Discovery and Innovation.

As Deputy Vice-Rector, Frédéric Bouchard will share his work with Marie-Josée Hébert (Vice-Rector) and Michel Bouvier (Deputy Vice-Rector), as part of a new approach in the vice-rector administration at UdeM. The head of this trio, Marie-Josée Hébert, is professor at the Department of Medicine of UdeM, holds the Shire Chair in Nephrology, Renal Transplantation and Regeneration and works as nephrology-transplant physician at the Centre hospitalier de l’UdeM (CHUM). Michel Bouvier, Deputy Vice-Rector, is professeur at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine of Faculty of Medicine of UdeM, the Chief Executive Officer of the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) and the holder of the Canada Research Chair in Cell Signaling and Molecular Pharmacology.

la gestion des dossiers, elle, est véritablement tripartie et profite de l’expertise complémentaire de chacun des membres du trio. Il s’agit d’un modèle innovant sur le plan organisationnel, qui encourage un leadership distribué et propose une gestion intégrée et intersectorielle de la recherche à l’Université de Montréal.

Following the wish of Guy Breton, Rector of UdeM, this troika administration will allow a collaborative coordination of research, discovery, creation and innovation activities at UdeM. Moreover, it will enable Marie-Josée Hébert, Michel Bouvier and Frédéric Bouchard to stay active researchers at UdeM.
