The MITACS programme enables UNIL Master students to complete a research stay of 3 to 6 months at the University of Montreal. For HEC Lausanne, the fields of studies concerned are Economics and Actuarial Sciences.
For such a research stay, a scholarship of 6000 Canadian dollars is available, regardless of the length of the stay. In total, 5 scholarships are awarded.
Half of this sum comes from MITACS, a Canadian not-for-profit organisation, which has signed an agreement with the University of Montreal, and the other half from UNIL.
To be eligible, students must be enrolled as a Master student at UNIL and remain enrolled throughout the research stay. They must have a research project for the Master thesis and wish to benefit from the expertise of a researcher from the University of Montreal.
The deadline for application is October 28, 2020.
More information on the website of the International Relations.
