Supported by UKRI and Mitacs, a national, not-for-profit organisation that has designed and delivered research and training programmes in Canada for 20 years, this is a new and exciting opportunity for UKRI and Canadian doctoral students to participate in a UK-Canada research exchange scheme. Up to 200 UK doctoral candidates will have the opportunity to develop into global citizens, with international competencies, during 12-week research placements in Canadian universities; a similar number of Canadian students will visit UK universities.

The scheme will open for applications in autumn 2019 with the first exchanges to take place from April 2020. For more information, please see the UKRI webpage here.
