Partnership between Mitacs and Hanseo University in South Korea will bring interns to Canada
Vancouver, BC — Top university students from South Korea will participate in advanced research projects in Canada thanks to a new Mitacs and Hanseo University internship agreement signed today. The five-year agreement – a first between Mitacs and Hanseo University – will enhance research connections and higher collaboration between the two countries.
This agreement represents some of the first Mitacs Globalink Reseach Internship opportunities with South Korea.
Senior undergraduate students at Hanseo University will spend 12 weeks, between May to October, at Canadian academic institutions through the new five-year Globalink Research Internship agreement. Participants from South Korea will travel to Canada starting in 2023. The students will work on a research project in their area of interest at a Canadian institution, under the supervision of a professor.
Participants will also have opportunities to take part in professional training in areas such as project management and entrepreneurship; interact with companies of interest; and enjoy cultural, social, and recreational experiences in Canada.
More information about the Mitacs-Hanseo University Globalink Research Internship agreement can be found on the program’s page. Details about the application process will be released soon. If you have immediate questions, please reach out to helpdesk@mitacs.ca.
