The acronym for the University of Quebec at Montreal is UQàM not UQ :P

One researcher was at UQAM, the other was at UQTR. Are both not considered part of UQ?

  • No, both are separate universities, although some universities also have satelite campuses (UDeM (montreal) has multiple).

    Edit0: Although UQ is a group of 10 universities that are public, they are not a single entity.

    • That sounds like the UC or SUNY systems. UCSB, UCLA, etc are all separate institutions with separate missions, but it’s totally normal to say “UC Berkeley” or “UC Santa Cruz.”
