Dear Colleagues,
As we continue to develop strategies for diversifying our international research partnerships, we are focusing on areas where funding and federal support/partnerships are
in place, as well as those where faculty currently have established collaborations. From last week's meetings between Canada and Mexico,
Canada's
tri-agencies have proposed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for research collaboration between
Canada's
NSERC and SSHRC and Mexico's
National
Council for Science and Technology. We expect this MOU to be signed by March 31, 2026.
To position ourselves for enhancing international collaboration, I would like to share the following opportunity with you.
Program name:
Faculty Mobility for Partnership Building Program
Funding organization: Government of Canada
Target audiences: Canadian postsecondary institutions and full-time professors
Funding: $7,000 maximum
Duration: 3 to 8 weeks
Activities: Teach and/or conduct research in eligible countries (including Mexico)
Inclusions: airfare, living expenses, health insurance, visa or work permit fees and other eligible expenses
Deadline: November 18th, 2025
Canadian postsecondary institutions must apply on behalf of eligible candidates by completing and submitting the online application form. Priority may be given to
first-time candidates, institutions developing new partnerships, and institutions with limited previous experience in international collaborations.
If you wish to take advantage of this opportunity, please review the information available at:

Best wishes,
Dena
