- Businesses and not-for-profit organizations looking for the right researcher to support them in their innovation projects
- Mitacs works with domestic and international partners to circulate your opportunity throughout our post-secondary networks to find you candidates who are the best fit.
- Researchers (professors or students) looking for the perfect opportunity to put their skills and knowledge into practice
- If you apply for a project, and the company is interested, Mitacs will connect you to the company to discuss and potentially develop the Mitacs research proposal.
