DESCRIPTION:The Office of Sponsored Research is pleased to invite faculty m
 embers and graduate students to an outreach session focusing on the availa
 ble programs sponsored by Mitacs which offers financial assistance to stud
 ents interested in undertaking research through a university-business part
 nership. This session would also benefit faculty members as these programs
  can lead to new connections with Canadian companies (for-profit\, not-for
 -profit and non-governmental organizations)\, increased funding and unique
  training opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows thr
 ough applied\, industrial research projects. Mitacs also supports 2-way mo
 bility of students between Canada and the international community\n\nMcGil
 l will host Fanny Dupuy\, McGill - Mitacs Business Development Specialist\

  and match these programs. She will also provide details on projects that 
 have successfully used these programs to the advantage of graduate student

  following programs:\n\nMitacs Accelerate and Elevate  \n\nThrough the Mit
 acs-Accelerate and Mitacs-Elevate programs\, graduate students and postdoc
 toral fellows apply their specialized expertise to business-related resear
 ch challenges. Interns (graduate students or postdoctoral fellows) bring n
 ew perspectives to the problems faced by the industry partners by spending
  approximately half of their time on-site with industry and the remainder 
 at the university advancing their research under the guidance of a faculty
  supervisor. This program is open to all disciplines and all industrial se
 ctors\, and projects can span a wide range of areas\, including manufactur
 ing\, technical innovation\, business processes\, IT\, social sciences\, d
 esign\, and more.\n\nMitacs Globalink\n\nThrough the Mitacs-Globalink prog
