Opportunity description

The Mitacs Globalink Research Internship 2027 offers a funded international research internship opportunity for Jordanian students enrolled in engineering and information technology fields at Jordanian universities.

The program enables selected students to travel to Canada and participate in a 12-week research project at a Canadian university or academic institution, under the supervision of a university professor and in collaboration with graduate students and specialized researchers.

The program aims to develop students’ research and professional skills, provide them with practical experience in an international academic environment, and introduce them to Canada’s research and innovation ecosystem.
