163 students from 14 香港六合彩开奖结果 universities have secured a place on the Globalink Research Internship (GRI) scheme,听with programmes due to start in May 2023, thanks to a partnership between Universities 香港六合彩开奖结果 International (U香港六合彩开奖结果i) and Mitacs.听
The 听is a fully funded internship programme for undergraduate students, which provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to carry out a 12-week summer internship at a Canadian university. After a competitive selection process, the top applicants are hosted at one of Mitacs鈥 70 partner institutions across Canada, to undertake research as part of their degree.听
Students will now begin to work with their Canadian host professors to prepare for their internship before travelling to their host universities across Canada.听
Jamie Arrowsmith, Director of U香港六合彩开奖结果i, commented:听
鈥淕rowing outbound international opportunities for 香港六合彩开奖结果 students is an important priority for U香港六合彩开奖结果i and our members. The GRI scheme is an excellent opportunity for students to benefit from our research links with Canadian partners, allowing them to develop global perspectives and gain experience helping to co-create solutions to some of the world鈥檚 most pressing challenges.鈥听
Since 2019, U香港六合彩开奖结果i and Mitacs have been working together to increase 香港六合彩开奖结果 mobility to, and research collaboration with Canada, supporting up to 400 听undergraduate students to undertake virtual and in-person research internships through the Mitacs GRI scheme. This scheme is just one of the ways that Mitacs are working to develop the next generation of researchers helping to fuel Canada鈥檚 knowledge-based economy.听
U香港六合彩开奖结果i research shows that student mobility experiences can have transformative, life changing positive impacts. International opportunities provide students with vital soft skills, self-confidence, cultural competencies and global connections leading to improved degree outcomes and better quality, higher paying graduate employment prospects.
A call for students to apply for the GRI scheme in 2024 will open this summer.
