Mitacs – Horizon Europe International Mobility Award
The Mitacs – Horizon Europe International Mobility Award (IMA) is designed to support Canadian faculty and eligible small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the early stages of consortium-building and proposal development under Pillar II of Horizon Europe. It provides short-term funding to facilitate travel and in-person engagements with European collaborators, addressing a well-recognized barrier to meaningful participation in one of the world’s largest research funding frameworks.
Visit the Mitacs website for more information on the Mitacs – Horizon Europe International Mobility Award.

Awards will be valued at up to CAD $5,000 per traveler (max. $10,000 per award).
