Genium360's vision
Be the driving force of the engineering community to build an innovative Québec
A brief history
Genium360, originally called the Corporation de services des ingénieurs du Québec (Letters Patent, in French), was created in 2002 after the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ) decided to refocus on its primary mission of protecting the public.
The Corporation operates as an autonomous entity and does not receive any portion of the OIQ’s membership fees. Becoming a Genium360 member is completely independent of OIQ membership.
The Corporation was first known by the name SERVIQ, and in 2006, it became the Réseau des ingénieurs du Québec (RéseauIQ).
In 2017, as decided at the 2016 Annual General Meeting (summary, in French), the organization opened up membership to all engineering graduates and became Genium360.
Beginning in 2024, as decided at the 2023 Annual General Meeting, students and graduates of a master's or doctoral program in engineering in Québec can also become members of Genium360.
The term “Genium” references the engineering sector which we encompass, while “360” conveys our desire to support the association's members in every sphere of their lives, simultaneously fostering technical and social innovation initiatives and collaboration within the engineering community.
