Reintroducing Mitacs Accelerate

Mitacs Accelerate has supported research collaborations between academia and industry since 2004. 

 

Nearly 15 years later, the program has evolved in a variety of exciting ways: 

Postdoctoral fellowships: Contact your local business development representative for details of a new, limited-time offering for 1, 2 or 3 year postdoctoral fellowships with enhanced leveraging

Flexible funding: projects with 3 or more interns (and at least 6 internships) can get improved leveraging for their partner contributions; no upper limit on project length or number of interns; new and existing collaborations are eligible; projects can include multiple partners, professors, and universities; and applications can be submitted at any time

Increased eligibility for university participants: the program is open to research in all academic disciplines, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at Canadian and international universities, and student entrepreneurs based at Canadian universities

Broader partner eligibility: Accelerate supports collaborations with for-profit and not-for-profit organizations in Canada, select Crown corporations, and for-profit businesses around the world

International reach: participating interns in Canada can do internships with companies in all countries, and companies in Canada can host interns from international universities in select Mitacs partner countries

Long-term funding and training: Accelerate’s fellowship option supports longer-term projects and provides nationally standardized training for participating master’s and PhD students
