Our suite of programs
"The Mitacs Globalink program has been an enriching experience for me - and not just academically. The program has given me the opportunity to work with top class faculty and research groups. It has made me aware of the cutting-edge research that happens in Canada, and to the infrastructure that has been built to support this. But these three months have also exposed me to Canadian culture and values - be it your love for the outdoors or your hospitality towards immigrants. It has enabled us to see the challenges faced by Canada - and the opportunities that lie therein. It has been an eye-opening experience for me - one that I would love to repeat - and I sincerely thank Mitacs for organizing, and organizing so well, such an amazing program."
