Mitacs has partnered with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) to support student mobility between Canadian universities and Japanese universities and research institutes. The Mitacs-JSPS Internship provides opportunities for graduate students in Canada to pursue collaborative research in Japan, allowing them to advance their own research while promoting scientific progress in both Japan and Canada.

• This initiative is directed at all Master and PhD degree students in all fields of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
• Successful applicants will travel to Japan for a period of 10 weeks, from June 14th to August 24th, 2016.
• JSPS will provide round-trip airfare, insurance, a maintenance allowance, and a research support allowance.

Internal due date for applications (for students of Université Laval): January 22nd, 2016 (please note that the application must be signed by the vice-recteur à la recherche et à la création)
Mitacs due date for applications: January 29th, 2016 at 5pm (PST)
