Lakehead University faculty members are invited to attend a presentation on Thursday, February 28, 2019 from 10-12 in the Ingenuity Theatre in the CASES building on the various funding/training programs offered by Mitacs.  

Dear Lakehead University Graduate Students:

Mitacs offers a suite of research and training programs which enable companies (for example under Mitacs Accelerate)  to connect with top Canadian researchers.  As well, there are international research opportunities offered by Mitacs.  For example, as a student, you may be interested in the Globalink Research Award  which funds research collaborations between senior undergraduate and graduate students and faculty members at a university overseas. Programs for postdoctoral fellows include the Elevate Program.

Christine Macdonald, Director, Business Development & Team Lead - Ontario, Mitacs Inc., will be at Lakehead University on September 26  to deliver an information session on the various programs Mitacs offers for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from 11:30 to 1:00 in the CASES (Centre for Advanced Studies in Engineering and.
