Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (Mitacs)

You could receive funding of up to $57,500 (including salary or stipend) toward a fellowship program with a recent PhD graduate to work on a research project for two years. The fellow would submit the application and, if successful, lead the collaboration. The project could address practical problems or challenges faced by your business, or help you further your knowledge and expertise.

To be eligible, you are expected to:

  • Work with and host the fellow at your facilities a minimum of half the time
  • Provide a minimum cash contribution of $25,000 annually toward the program, as well as in-kind support as needed

Some universities have a specific framework already in place for these projects.

Other conditions apply.
