On 23 November, the PHYTOVALIX project, co-directed by Michel Labrecque, Frédéric Pitre of the IRBV and Yves Comeau of Polytechnique Montréal, was the winner of the prize Regroupements sectoriels de recherche industrielle, at the 33rd Innovation Awards Gala of the Association for the Development of Research and Innovation of Quebec which brought together more than 575 participants. PHYTOVALIX has made it possible to develop technology for the treatment of landfill leachate using willow plantations. It was the CRIBIQ which chose this project to be submitted for this prize category.
