Eligibility: Interns need to be enrolled full-time at a Canadian university as a graduate student (Master’s or PhD level) or as a post-doctoral fellow for the whole duration of the internship.
-Typically an intern and a professor would be at the same university. However, as long as an intern is a registered graduate student at a Canadian university, they may participate in the Accelerate program under the supervision of a professor at a different Canadian university. In these cases, the applicants are responsible for ensuring that the intern is covered by the appropriate insurance and that they can be paid through the supervising professor’s university. Mitacs cannot be held responsible for any delay in payments to the student in these situations.
-Interns should not delay graduation to participate in the Mitacs Accelerate program.
-Post-doctoral fellows are eligible within five years of the completion of their first doctoral degree.
-The academic supervisor of the prospective intern needs to grant his/her approval for the internship.

Internship Open for International Students: Canadian as well as international applicants are eligible t apply for this internship programme.
