Mitacs Globalink Research Award –Inbound/Outbound  * Open Call * 

Eligible undergraduates, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows (PDFs), can propose research projects of 3-6 months in duration under the supervision of a faculty member at a host institution. Grants are in the amount of CAD 6,000 and can be combined with other funding.

 

 

The current program is offered through two streams:

  1. Allocation stream: Participating Canadian universities receive a set number of internship units per year. Each university will manage their allocation. Rules and conditions may vary.
  2. Quantum stream: Open to all Canadian universities. The project must be in the quantum sector (includes but not limited to: Quantum computation (hardware), algorithms, and software – Quantum communication, networks, and cryptography – Quantum metrology, sensing, imaging, and materials.).  No limit of projects per Canadian university and does not count in the university’s allocation.

Outbound awards are for students/ PDFs enrolled at Canadian institutions (regardless of citizenship) to conduct research at a Latin American institution.  Outbound mobility is possible between Canada and all countries except those classified as “Avoid all travel” or “Avoid non-essential travel” by the  Government of Canada

Inbound awards are available for students/PDFs from all countries except Russia and North Korea  to conduct research at a Canadian university. Applications are open call and can be accepted year-round, but each member institution may have its own internal competition and deadlines.

Each CALAREO member institution will have its own procedures for selecting applicants.  For general information, please contact the CALAREO Secretariat, Jill Sherman, calareo.research@lakeheadu.ca.
