 he remainder of the internā€™s time is spent at their university\, where the
 y develop new tools\, techniques\, methodologies\, and/or solutions to the
  partner organizationā€™s research challenge with the support of their acade

  sectors\, and projects can span a wide range of areas\, including manufac
 turing\, technical innovation\, business processes\, IT\, social sciences\
 , design\, and more.\n\nĀ \n\nMitacs Globalink\n\nThrough the Mitacs-Global
