Mitacs Globalink introduces Canada as a world-leading research and innovation destination to top undergraduate students from around the world. Globalink students undertake a summer research project under the supervision of a Canadian university faculty member, meet with local entrepreneurs and business leaders and build their professional skills and network. A participant’s experience is further enriched with the guidance of a graduate student mentor and a host of meaningful educational and social experiences during their stay. For 2012, Mitacs Globalink will include students from India, China, Brazil and Mexico.

Attn 2011 Globalink Alumni: If you are applying to a Canadian university for Masters or PhD study program, you can apply now for a Globalink Fellowship.

We would like to thank the following governments for their support.
