From September 1 to 4, 2025, twelve ÉRIGAL students took part in a writing retreat at the Laurentian Biology Station (SBL), located just one hour from Montreal, in the heart of the Laurentians.


Over the course of four days, participants dedicated themselves to academic writing using the Pomodoro technique, which alternates focused work sessions with regular breaks, fostering a healthy balance between productivity and rest.


The retreat also included a meeting focused on student initiatives, where participants discussed activity proposals for the upcoming academic term and shared recommendations for the continued development of the team. Social activities helped strengthen bonds of camaraderie—essential for harmonious collaboration and to combat the sense of isolation that can sometimes arise in academic settings.


The SBL provided a natural and stimulating environment, with various workspaces ideal for focus and creativity, making this retreat a rich experience both academically and personally.
