Sanofi is committed to nurturing scientific talent across Canada through several long-standing programs. As we continue to pioneer new areas of innovation and scientific discovery, it is important that we assess our existing programs to ensure they continue to meet evolving needs.

In 2025, we are pausing the Sanofi Biogenius Canada Competition for assessment. We look forward to sharing details of our refreshed program in the coming months.


Sanofi s'est engagé à encourager les talents scientifiques à travers le Canada par le biais de plusieurs programmes de longue date. Alors que nous continuons à explorer de nouveaux domaines d'innovation et de découverte scientifique, il est important que nous évaluions nos programmes existants pour nous assurer qu'ils continuent à répondre à l'évolution des besoins.

En 2025, nous suspendons le concours Sanofi Biogenius Canada pour évaluation. Nous avons hâte de partager les détails de notre programme renouvelé dans les mois à venir.
