Is there funding available for international exchange or collaboration purposes through the bilateral agreements between NSERC and other countries?
Bilateral agreements are primarily a tool to facilitate the flow of information between each countrys scientific communities. Granting agencies in partner countries may have funding available to encourage exchange and collaboration between their nationals and Canadians. Canadians interested in exploring funding opportunities offered by foreign granting agencies are invited to visit their Web sites. NSERC currently has bilateral agreements with counterparts in Chile, China, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan and the United Kingdom.
