CMA 2014 Executive Director Léo-Paul
Charest believes that CMA 2014 was
distinguished by the great relevance of
the discussions and reflections that took
place during the event.
“Through its symposium and conference
components and the tremendous com-
mitment of the Edmundston campus,
a leading partner, CMA 2014 achieved
its goals of delivering a comprehensive,
forward-looking event. The publication
of numerous scientific articles following
the CMA is an important legacy for
the advancement of knowledge about
Acadia, and confirms the leading role of
the Université de Moncton in promoting
Acadian studies.”

L’Acadie dans tous ses défis
