Indian students head for Canada to join research internships | Some of the brightest Indian students will be spending
this summer in Canada taking part in cutting-edge research internships at Canadian universities. According to a Canadian High Commission release, as part of MITACS
Globalink internship program, 105 undergraduate Indian students are working on
a number of research projects alongside undergraduate and graduate Canadian students
under the supervision of Canadian faculty members. In addition, they will receive
business skills training through the MITACS Step Program, tour cutting-edge companies
and network with industry leaders and innovators. While 49 students will take
up internships at University of British Columbia, University of Victoria and Simon
Fraser University in the province of British Columbia, 47 students have joined
three-month internship programs at York University, McMaster University, Carleton
University, Queen's University, Ryerson University, University of Western Ontario,
University of Waterloo, University of Ottawa, University of Toronto and University
of Guelph in the province of Ontario. Nine students have joined University of
New Brunswick (UNB) in the province of New Brunswick . MITACS Globalink is a unique
internship program that links talented international undergraduate students with
world-class researchers at Canadian universities. The program seeks to build research
links with India - a research and development powerhouse in the making - and connect
with its future innovators and entrepreneurs. " Canada has world-class universities
that provide superior education and innovative collaborative research opportunities
and companies interested in helping students to commercialize their ideas into
the products of tomorrow," said Arvind Gupta, scientific director of MITACS. Commenting
on his internship, Rohit Verma, a computer science student from the Indian Institute
of Technology Kharagpur, said his time at UNB "has been an enjoyable and enriching
experience that [he] will cherish for years to come." He added that working at
UNB is refreshing and motivating. |
