Opportunity
The Globalink Research Award G7 AI Adoption Call will support academic collaborations and researcher mobility between Canada and G7 countries. It reflects Canada鈥檚 commitment to advancing AI leadership within the G7, with a focus on research that is both globally competitive and domestically translatable.
This call prioritizes high-quality academic research in artificial intelligence while encouraging pathways that enable the translation of research into real-world applications. We encourage projects that contribute to advancing foundational and applied AI knowledge and that may demonstrate the potential to support adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This is not a requirement for applying; rather it is considered an asset.
