Subject: UK-Canada Globalink Doctoral Exchange Scheme

Dear Colleagues

Can you please circulate the following information to your Departments and Schools.

EPSRC have been in touch to let us know of a new opportunity being offered by UKRI. (https://www.ukri.org/research/international/international-funding-opportunities/uk-canada-globalink-doctoral-exchange-scheme/)

As part of UKRI's memorandum of understanding with the National Research Council of Canada, UKRI and Canadian doctoral students can participate in a UK-Canada research exchange scheme. The £2.5M programme is being delivered by Mitacs, a national, not-for-profit organization that has designed and delivered research and training programs in Canada for 20 years. The programme will enable up to 200 UK doctoral candidates to participate in 12 week research placements in Canadian Universities and develop into global citizens, with international competencies. A similar number of Canadian Students will be able to visit UK universities.

Opening for applications in autumn 2019, the UK-Canada Globalink Doctoral Exchange Scheme will support travel, living and research costs for the students in their chosen field of study. Following a competitive application process, the first exchanges will take place from April 2020. More information about Mitacs can be found here<https://www.mitacs.ca/en>, including details and testimonies from those who have taken part previously.  The scheme will be open to UKRI-funded and Canadian doctoral students working in all areas. For UKRI students, Globalink Research Placements are currently available at over 45 universities across Canada in a variety of academic disciplines from science, engineering and mathematics to the humanities and social sciences. It is expected that universities that have either a CDT or DTP allocation will be eligible to host placements, but full details will be available in September 2019.

Details on how to apply will be available from September 2019. Enquiries should be sent to researchcareers at nerc.ukri.org<mailto:researchcareers at nerc.ukri.org>


Thank you

Best wishes

Shona
