| 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 first week (held at ÉTS) will focus on the introduction of Sage and Python to interested students (open to students from all institutions!), teachers and professors with further emphasis on (but not limited to) '''learning python''', '''git workflow''', '''teaching with CAS'''. The first week will be a great occasion to learn more about the software and for advanced developers to present and improve current tools. The second week held at UQAM will take the form of a '''Research Summer School''' with a mini-course (with exercice sessions), scientific talks, and Sage working sessions with further emphasis on (but not limited to) '''Geometric and Algebraic Combinatorics''', '''Experimenting with Sage''', '''Contributing to Sage'''. 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.
