The GRA G7 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Adoption Call supports Canada’s commitment to AI leadership through academic collaboration and student and researcher mobility. Run by Mitacs through its Globalink Research Award structure, it supports exchanges between Canada and France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The call prioritizes high-quality academic AI research and its translation into real-world applications. Ideal projects advance foundational and applied AI knowledge while demonstrating potential to support adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Internships bring together interns and home and host academic supervisors, with awards offered in partnership with Mitacs academic institution partners.
