    CIDCO 2025 Colloquium : A Special Edition

    On June 2, 2025, CIDCO will host its traditional colloquium under the theme « For an Inclusive Management of Oceans ».

    The CIDCO 2025 Colloquium is a key event for stakeholders in the maritime sector, hydrography, and hydrospatial domains. Held every two years, it brings together experts, researchers, and professionals from various backgrounds to exchange ideas, foster innovation, and shape the future of hydrographic technologies.

    For the first time, our event will take place outside Rimouski, in Trois-Rivières, furthering our commitment to engaging with diverse maritime communities and expanding our reach.

    We are honored to collaborate with the 3rd edition of the Avenir Maritime Conference, organized by the Réseau Québec maritime (RQM) and the Institut France-Québec maritime (IFQM). The CIDCO 2025 Colloquium will take place before the official programming of the conference on June 3 and 4, 2025.
