Thèsez-vous: Writing Retreat in Social Gerontology

Date: March 13-15, 2026

In partnership with Thèsez-vous, CREGÉS is organizing a retreat offering support and resources for students at all academic levels who are in the process of writing a thesis, dissertation, articles, scholarship applications, or other academic work. This is a unique opportunity that will allow any CREGÉS student member (whether you are currently writing or not) to attend a free 3-day retreat focusing on aging and social gerontology.

The writing retreat offers more than 20 hours of writing time, free from distractions, giving attendees the opportunity to concentrate fully on making substantial progress on their thesis, dissertation, grant application, article, or other academic project. Accommodation, meals, and the scheduling are all taken care of to maximize mental focus and healthy productivity.

Located on the banks of the Châteauguay River and Lac Saint-Louis, the Manoir d’Youville is close to a wildlife reserve, walking trails, and orchards. It’s the perfect place to combine writing with the outdoors!

This retreat offers CREGÉS members the opportunity to get together and share their knowledge and experiences, both academic and practical. Come and get to know your colleagues!
