Mitacs is a national not-for-profit agency that supports and funds industry and academia collaborations through student placements. Their grant programs enable you to host student interns who are supervised by Emily Carr University of Art + Design (ECU) faculty with expertise to solve your challenges.
ECU is interested in piloting this program to start with 12 Mitacs internships starting in late spring of 2022. This would draw from students who are in ECU’s Bachelor of Arts program and specialize in animation and VFX.
