Concordia-Mitacs Globalink Research Award
The Mitacs Globalink Research Award (GRA) program offers Concordia faculty members an opportunity to advance their international research by collaborating with partners.
Concordia faculty co-supervise inbound and/or outbound senior undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows participating in a short (12 to 24 weeks) research project.
2024 Call for proposals: September 12 - November 12, 2024
New for 2024
Mitacs has expanded the countries eligible to participate in the GRA program. This is an opportunity to build on the university’s research strengths and forge new global research partnerships with academic institutions in countries with growing strategic importance for Concordia University and Canada. Namely, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Kenya and Morocco.
Mitacs now supports collaboration between Canada and all countries except those classified as “Avoid all travel” or “Avoid non-essential travel” by the Government of Canada. Please note that this list is subject to change at any time and participants are required to check the status at the time of application and prior to travel.
