Description
The Mitacs Globalink Research Award enables senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows at Canadian universities—including UBC—to undertake 12- to 24-week research projects abroad, under joint supervision from both home and host institutions. The program is designed to foster international research collaboration and experiential learning, and is open to all academic disciplines. Funding is available through two streams: the Allocation stream (with a limited number of awards per institution and internal selection at UBC) and the Quantum stream (for quantum sector projects, without institutional limits).
