This webinar aims to help the Canadian research community understand how Korean interns coming to Canada can benefit from QCenter funding in addition to Mitacs’ support. During the live session, the QCenter will present its funding opportunities for Korean interns who are coming to Canada to participate in quantum research. This funding is available in addition to the standard Mitacs Globalink Research Award (GRA). These funding opportunities are administered separately, and applicants may apply to both programs.
