DESCRIPTION:This event at Macdonald Campus has been postponed.\n\n \n\n \n
 \n \n\nThe Office of Sponsored Research is pleased to invite faculty membe
 rs and researchers to an outreach session focusing on the available progra
 ms sponsored by Mitacs which offers financial assistance to students inter
 ested in undertaking research through a university-business partnership. T
 his session would also benefit faculty members as these programs can lead 
 to new connections with Canadian companies (for-profit\, not-for-profit an
 d non-governmental organizations)\, increased funding and unique training 
 opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows through appli
 ed\, industrial research projects. Mitacs also supports 2-way mobility of 
 students between Canada and the international community\n\n91ɬÂþ will hos
 t Jean-Philippe Valois\, Mitacs Business Development Director\, who will p
 resent various programs and provide helpful tips on how to mix and match t
 hese programs. He will also provide details on projects that have successf
 ully used these programs to the advantage of graduate students\, postdocto
 ral fellows and researchers.\n\n \n\nDiscussion will center on the followi
 ng programs:\n\n \n\nMitacs Accelerate and Elevate \n\nThrough the Mitacs-
 Accelerate and Mitacs-Elevate programs\, graduate students and postdoctora
 l fellows apply their specialized expertise to business-related research c
 hallenges. Interns (graduate students or postdoctoral fellows) bring new p
 erspectives to the problems faced by the industry partners by spending app
 roximately half their time on site with the partner organization\, interac
 ting with staff and furthering their understanding of the challenge. The r
 emainder of the intern’s time is spent at their university\, where they de
 velop new tools\, techniques\, methodologies\, and/or solutions to the par
 tner organization’s research challenge with the support of their academic 
 supervisor. This program is open to all disciplines and all industrial sec
 tors\, and projects can span a wide range of areas\, including manufacturi
 ng\, technical innovation\, business processes\, IT\, social sciences\, de
 sign\, and more.\n\n \n\nMitacs Globalink\n\nThrough the Mitacs-Globalink 
 program\, senior undergraduate and graduate students are provided funding 
 to facilitate two-way mobility to partner countries to do research with a 
 host university. There are awards for students coming to Canada and studen
 ts going abroad to strengthen collaborative ties with countries such as Au
 stralia\, Brazil\, China\, France\, India\, Mexico\, Saudi Arabia\, and Tu
 nisia.\n\n \n\nWe will accept questions ahead of time so information can b
 e incorporated into the session and help guide discussion (jpvalois [at] m
