| As partner institutions within the Université du Québec, UQAM and ÉTS will host a two-week long Sage Days (the 8th Sage Days in Montréal and the first one to take place at the '''École de Technologie Supérieure''').

The second week will be a great occasion to learn how to use Sage while working on your own projects and exchanging with experienced users on available tools. | As partner institutions within the Université du Québec network, '''UQAM''' and '''ÉTS''' will host a two-week Sage Days event in Montréal.
