Michel Gamache, Senior Lecturer and Researcher at the Polytechnique in Montreal-Canada, completed a short two-week stay at the Delphos Mine Planning Laboratory. This stay aimed to complete the publication of two articles collaborating with Dr. Nelson Morales and two students who made research stays in Canada, namely Pedro Sanhueza and Héctor González, thanks to the Canada-Chile Leadership Exchange Scholarships that these students obtained in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Another objective of this exchange of experiences was to learn about how the internal organization of Delphos Laboratory works, as Prof. Gamache intends to start his own Research Laboratory, extend ties with the mining industry, cooperate with the training of pre and postgraduate students through internships in both Chile and Canada, etc.

In words (translated into Spanish) by Prof. Gamache: "I finish my stay happy. The whole human group in Delphos is very kind and friendly. I really enjoyed my visit to Chile and share in the Laboratory. I hope we can maintain and strengthen collaboration in the future."
