Description
The Mitacs Globalink Research Award supports international research collaborations through student and postdoctoral mobility into and out of Canada. Senior undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows work under the joint supervision of home and host professors. The program supports all disciplines, helping participants build international research networks through one or two research internships.
Participating Canadian universities manage limited internship units through the Allocation stream. The Quantum stream supports quantum research without counting against university allocations. A separate G7 AI Adoption Call supports foundational and applied artificial intelligence research, prioritizing translation into real-world applications and potential adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises. UBC runs an internal selection process for Allocation applications, but not Quantum applications.
