This paper sheds light on the institutionalisation of northern research in post-war French-speaking Quebec, focusing on the intellectual, disciplinary and political negotiations around the creation of Université Laval’s Centre d’études nordiques (CEN) in 1961. The debates underlying CEN’s institutional vision, as imagined by geographer Louis-Edmond Hamelin (1923–2020), reveal the tensions among politicians and academics whose interests diverged in terms of ends, but converged in terms of means. The research centre, seen as vehicle ensuring a French-Canadian presence in the Quebec’s north, offers insight into the political and scientific premises of Quebec’s Quiet Revolution.
