Internship in Canada under the Mitacs Globalink Research Internship program

From 2018 Ukrainian students have the opportunity to practice in the Canadian universities under the Mitacs Globalink Research Internship Program.

The program has been in existence for 7 years. About 700 students from nine partner countries arrive every summer for three months. In 2018 Ukraine joined the program. Selected participants take part in a research internship led by Canadian university teachers from a variety of scientific disciplines: from  engineering, technical and mathematical to humanities and social sciences. Students choose from three to seven applied research projects interesting to them and they would like to work on. And this is one of the differences between the Canadian program and Fulbright in the USA or Erasmus + in the European Union.

Last year, 50 best students from all over Ukraine were selected for this program. The 4th year student of the Institute of Education and Science in Engineering and Physics Tatiana Doludf from the group I-45 (MT) of the Department of Geometric Modeling and Computer Graphics was on the list of the best students. The young girl spent the summer of 2018 in Canada for Mitacs Globalink Research Internship and worked in the SMACLab lab, in OCAD University of Toronto under the patronage of a Canadian professor. The project was devoted to virtual reality.
