Description:
The University of Manitoba (UM) proposes a strategic outbound mobility initiative to foster high-impact research collaborations in the Indo-Pacific region, leveraging Canada’s leadership in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and data transformation. Through two cycles of funding, the project will support 12 graduate scholarships and 6 researchers fellowships (each valued up to $25,000), enabling UM scholars to engage with regional partners for 2 to 8 months. Research will span technological innovation, sustainable development, and next-generation agriculture, with host institutions in Japan, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Australia, and the Philippines. This initiative aligns with Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, strengthens UM’s global presence, and builds capacity among Canadian academic talent while addressing the lack of targeted outbound mobility funding for the region. ?
