Mitacs and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru, India have partnered to support the outbound mobility of interns and faculty from Canadian universities and research institutes to Bengaluru with funding from IISc. IISc will also promote the Mitacs Globalink Research Award (GRA) program within their research community to encourage bilateral collaboration with Canada.

Canadian faculty, researchers, and graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows are invited to attend an information session on the two opportunities with funding from IISc:

• International visiting faculty program at IISc
• Short-term visiting visiting program for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows

This session will provide participants with a better understanding of the opportunities, eligibility requirements, and application process, and offer the chance to ask questions directly to IISc representatives.

For assistance at Lakehead, contact Jill Sherman, intl.research@lakeheadu.ca.
