Please find below information on the Mitacs Horizon Europe International Mobility Award (IMA).
This new funding opportunity is designed to connect Canadian researchers and innovators with Horizon Europe by providing support to connect with collaborators in-market. Through the IMA, eligible Canadian faculty members and SME representatives can access up to $10,000 CAD ($5,000 CAD per individual traveler) in funding to support travel, and participation in consortia-building activities tied to Horizon Europe projects.
Eligible costs include airfare, accommodation, event registration fees, and other mobility-related expenses that enable Canadian researchers to build partnerships with European institutions and industry leaders. The award is open to faculty at eligible Canadian universities and representatives from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in R&D activities. Successful applicants will gain opportunities to attend Horizon Europe events, connect with large-scale consortia, and collaborate on proposals in the 2026-2027 work programme.
Applications are open until September 29, 2025. If you have any questions, please connect with Mitacs at pilots@mitacs.ca.
