Description
Mitacs runs the Globalink Research Award in partnership with Canadian academic institutions to support international research collaboration through researcher mobility between Canada and eligible countries and regions. Full-time senior undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows conduct research under the joint supervision of home and host professors, who provide ongoing research direction and support.
The program has an allocation stream, in which participating Canadian universities manage annual allocations of internship units, and a quantum stream outside those allocations. Quantum projects can address computation hardware, algorithms and software; communication, networks and cryptography; or metrology, sensing, imaging and materials. Awards support travel, accommodation, research-related expenses and stipends associated with international placements.
