Canadian funding for graduate students "with uncertain status in their current location"
[This sender failed our fraud detection checks and may not be who they appear to be. Learn about spoofing at http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSpoofing] Dear colleagues, Mitacs, a Canadian funding organization, has just announced that they will support up to 100 foreign graduate students, in all disciplines, to spend 12-24 weeks doing research in Canada. The funding is somewhat cryptically reserved for students "with uncertain status in their current location". I can only guess what that means. I imagine, for example, that if some graduate student were studying in a country that has recently elected a populist right-wing government issuing random travel bans, causing the student to be stuck outside that country, then this would be exactly the sort of student Canada would love to welcome. If you know anyone in that situation, please direct them to this website: https://www.mitacs.ca/en/programs/globalink/globalink-research-award/globali... -- Peter [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]

Hi Peter, Thanks for the timely message. Do you mind if I forward it to the algebraic topology ("algtop-L") email list? Best, Aaron Mazel-Gee On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 2:22 AM, Peter Selinger <selinger@mathstat.dal.ca> wrote:
