Description
The Globalink Research Award (GRA), offered by Mitacs with Canadian academic institution partners, supports international research collaborations between Canada and eligible countries and regions. Senior undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows undertake research either inbound to Canada or abroad from Canada, jointly supervised by home and host professors. Funding supports travel, accommodation, research-related expenses and stipends.
The program has two streams. The allocation stream operates through participating Canadian universities’ annual internship-unit allocations, with institutional rules and conditions that may differ. The quantum stream supports quantum computation hardware, algorithms and software; communication, networks and cryptography; and metrology, sensing, imaging and materials. Both streams aim to benefit interns while supporting research with benefits to industry, society and Canada.
