College-university Mobility Grants

The new College–University Mobility Grants aim to strengthen collaboration between Quebec’s college network (Collège d’enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEP) and Centres collégiaux de transfert technologique (CCTT)) and QCAM research groups by facilitating research mobility for college, MSc and PhD students. The grants are intended to support short-term research or training internships, providing students with opportunities to gain hands-on research experience, develop new technical skills, and benefit from access to complementary expertise, facilities and research environments at participating institutions.
