This session would also benefit faculty members as these programs can le ad to new connections with Canadian companies\, increased funding and uniq ue training opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows t hrough applied\, industrial research projects.\nMcGill will host three age ncy representatives who will present their industry internship programs an d provide helpful tips on how to mix and match these programs. They will a lso provide details on projects that have successfully used these programs to the advantage of graduate students\, postdoctoral fellows and research ers.\nSpeakers:  \n\nAnnik Brosseau\, Program Officer - FRQNT\nJesse Vince nt-Herscovici\, Director\, Strategic Accounts and Business Development\, M itacs\nFrançois Santerre\, Research and Innovation Development Officer – N SERC \nDiscussion will center on\, but not be limited to\, the following p rograms:\nBMP Innovation: Industrial Innovation Scholarships Program  \nTh e objective of the Industrial Innovation Scholarships Program is to foster the development of innovative capacity in companies and to improve employ ment prospects for recent graduates of master's and doctoral programs thro ugh university-industry partnerships. This program is offered jointly by N SERC and the FRQNT.\nMitacs Accelerate \nThrough the Mitacs-Accelerate pro gram\, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows apply their specialized expertise to business-related research challenges. Interns (graduate stude nts or postdoctoral fellows) bring new perspectives to the problems faced by the industry partners by spending approximately half of their time on-s ite with industry and the remainder at the university advancing their rese arch under the guidance of a faculty supervisor. This program is open to a ll disciplines and all industrial sectors\, and projects can span a wide r ange of areas\, including manufacturing\, technical innovation\, business processes\, IT\, social sciences\, design\, and more. This program is offe red jointly by Mitacs and the FRQNT.\nNSERC Engage and Industrial R&D Fell owships\nEngage Grants are intended to foster the development of new resea rch partnerships between researchers and companies that have never collabo rated before by supporting a short-term R&D project. These projects usuall y involve graduate students and fellows\, and are great opportunities for them to create long term research relationships with companies and/or pote ntial employers. If the latter comes to fruition\, then industrial R&D fel lowships could be appropriate\, as they provide important financial suppor t to recent PhD graduates seeking careers in the Canadian private sector. \n*Refreshments will be served.*\nPlease RSVP to OSR before Wednesday\, Ja nuary 23rd at the following link.\n \n*Please note that participants will be notified if the session should be cancelled due to insufficient attenda nce. *\n\n DTSTART:20130125T190000Z DTEND:20130125T220000Z LOCATION:Room M-1\, Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building\, CA\, QC\, M ontreal\, H3A 0C7\, 3640 rue University SUMMARY:Outreach Session: Industrial Partnerships/Internships URL:https://www.mcgill.ca/research/channels/event/outreach-session-industri al-partnershipsinternships-219704 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
