Student training

The new training mobility grant aims to facilitate QCAM students’ participation in training activities (both within and outside the Centre) that can benefit the students’ research projects or their career development. The grant value is a maximum of $2,000 for (infrastructure) trips from UQAR or UQAC to any other QCAM university and vice versa. Shorter “infrastructure” trips qualify for a maximum $1,000 grant. The grant value is a maximum of $1,500 for other travel grants.

Requirements

  • Applicants must be graduate students or postdoctoral members of QCAM
  • Applicants may only indicate a single activity type in their application
  • Focus on a topic in line with QCAM’s scientific scope
  • Offer a clear added value to the applicant’s professional development
