AGREEMENT FOR ACADEMIC EXCHANGES AND COOPERATION BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTREAL (UdeM) AND KYUSHU UNIVERSITY (KU) 1. The two parties shall encourage the following activities in Chemistry and related fields: (1) Exchange of professors and researchers; (2) Exchange of graduate students; (3) Collaborative research and joint academic meetings; (4) Exchange of information, publications and materials for academic purposes; and (5) Other activities as may be mutually agreed by the two parties to this Agreement 2. This Agreement shall remain valid for a period of five (5) years. 3. This Agreement may be amended by mutual Agreement. 4. This Agreement is made in English in two copies, one for each party.

DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT FOR FACULTY MEMBERS EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE UdeM et KU 1. The two parties shall promote the exchange of personnel for periods that may range from a few days to several months; and mutual participation in conferences, seminars and internships organized by one of the universities. 2. The exchange of faculty members will be jointly financed (depending on the availability of funds): the sending institution would normally take at its charge travel expenses while the host institution would provide funding for living expenses. 3. Any subsidy granted for cooperation activities shall be administered by the institution which initiated the request.

DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT FOR GRADUATE STUDENT EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE UdeM and KU 1. The period of exchange for individual students participating in this exchange program shall not exceed one year (twelve months). 2. The number of exchange students shall be up to three (3) students per year from each University. The goal is to maintain an approximate balance in the number of exchange students between the two Universities in the period of this Agreement. 3. Exchange students shall continue as candidates for the degree at the home University and shall not be candidates for the degree at the host University.

suite…. 4. Exchange students must satisfy the formal admission requirements of the host University, but each University shall simplify such procedures in order to facilitate this student exchange program. 5. The home University may duly recognize the credits earned by exchange students in accordance with its own regulations.

suite…. 6. Exchange students shall be exempted from the normal application, registration and tuition fees of the host University. 7. The host University shall not be responsible for students' personal expenses, such as the cost of travel, accommodation, meals, required health/medical insurance, or books and other educational items. 8. The host University shall assist the exchange students to the fullest extent possible in finding reasonable accommodation. 9. The host University shall assist exchange students in satisfying visa requirements and other official formalities.

Quelle solution face au problème des ressources énergétiques ? Énergies renouvellables: temporaire vs. à long terme solaire Cellules photovoltaïques: rendement, surface H 2 : combustible propre (issu de l’eau, reforme de l’eau) Économie Hydrogène: production H 2 et stockage; utilisation dans piles à combustibles Électrolyse de l’eau: processus multi-électronique mais énergétiquement défavorable Photocatalyseur capable de faire cette réaction en conditions ambiantes: Photochimie Un Polyoxométallate (POM) [Mo 6 O 19 ] 2– Complexe métallique [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ ?
