Description du programme:
Under the joint supervision of a professor from their home country and a host country professor, selected undergraduate graduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers receive a 6,000-dollar research award to carry out a 12–24 week research project in the other country. These awards are granted jointly with Mitacs’ Canadian postsecondary partners (and sometimes international partners) and subject to funding availability.
Mitacs Globalink Research Awards are currently available for researchers from over 70 universities in Canada. Since 2014, the French Embassy in Canada has partnered with Mitacs to offer 15 mobility awards annually to Canadian students (excluding Quebec) seeking an experience in France.
Amount/Benefits:
Students selected through a highly competitive process will receive a research award of 6000$.
Duration:
Research project of 12 to 24 weeks at a partner foreign university.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
Age:
Be of legal age in Canada (18 years or older).
Specialties:
Open to all disciplines.
Additional Conditions:
Candidates cannot:
- undertake a research project at an institution where they have already completed a study program
- be the recipient of more than one Globalink Research Award during their entire academic career
- have previously received a scholarship from the Mitacs-JSPS summer program
Candidates must meet the travel conditions for their intended destination, including immigration and visa requirements, as well as related documentation, and cannot undertake a research project in a country of which they are a citizen. Canadian permanent residents or citizens who are:
- enrolled in an eligible country other than Canada that wishes to make a project in Canada are eligible
- enrolled at a Canadian educational institution and are citizens of an eligible country can apply for this country.
Be an undergraduate student (completed second year of studies), graduate student, or full-time postdoctoral researcher at an eligible Canadian or international institution throughout the entire duration of the Globalink Research Award.
All candidates enrolled in an undergraduate program must have maintained a B average in their last two semesters before submitting their application. This may be the cumulative average of both semesters.
Postdoctoral researchers can submit an application if they have not received their doctorate for more than five years from the start date of the proposed project and hold postdoctoral researcher status at an eligible institution.
APPLICATION / ELIGIBILITY:
Applications to the Globalink Research Award program can be made at any time. However, it is recommended that candidates submit their application at least 16 weeks before the planned start date of their project. It usually takes 10–12 weeks for Mitacs to communicate the results to the candidates, as well as a few weeks to process the scholarship and allow candidates to complete their preparations before leaving.
Supervisory professors at Canadian institutions must obtain approval from their institution before preparing the application. Contact your business development representative at Mitacs for more information on the required approval for your project and to receive the application kit.
Documents Required:
In addition to filling out all fields in the application form, candidates must submit their CV, letters of support, and a research proposal.
Selection Process:
Further information will be provided in the application kit.
