On August 5, 2023, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) launched the AICTE-Mitacs Globalink Research Internship (GRI) 2027 programme. This initiative is aimed at promoting global academic collaboration and expanding research opportunities specifically for Indian students. The programme will offer fully funded internships in Canada to a cohort of 300 students.
The launch was officiated by Yogesh Singh, who is the Chairman of AICTE. The move is seen as a significant step in fostering international ties in education and research, allowing Indian students to gain valuable experience and skills while working abroad.
The GRI programme is part of a broader strategy to encourage student mobility and enhance the quality of education through exposure to different academic environments. By facilitating these internships, AICTE aims to provide Indian students with opportunities to engage in high-level research while collaborating with Canadian institutions.
The initiative speaks to the increasing importance of cross-border educational programs in today's globalised world, particularly in the fields of technology and research, which continue to evolve rapidly.
