The Government of Saskatchewan is providing $400,000 in funding to support internships in science, technology, engineering and math through Mitacs.
Mitacs presence in Saskatchewan is producing innovative results for industries and making a tangible difference for students. For example, through a fellowship with the Saskatchewan Research Council, University of Regina postdoctoral fellow in engineering Qingwang Yuan developed software that improves enhanced oil recovery through modeling, allowing industry to be more efficient in the recovery process.
Dr. Yuan was recently recognized at the 7th Annual Mitacs Awards in Ottawa with the Mitacs Postdoctoral Award for Outstanding Innovation.
“With this investment, the Government of Saskatchewan is helping Mitacs researchers like Qingwang Yuan connect with local companies to develop new technologies, improve processes, and increase production,” Mitacs CEO and Scientific Director Alejandro Adem said. “This partnership provides career training for undergraduate and graduate students, and high-quality expertise for businesses. Together, these elements help build a strong economy and drive long-term prosperity.”
“There are so many talented students in our province who have innovative research ideas but don’t always have the means to bring them to fruition by applying them outside the classroom or laboratory,” University of Regina President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Vianne Timmons said. “With additional Mitacs funding in place, more students like Dr. Yuan will have the opportunity to put their brilliant ideas to work for all of our benefit in the years to come.”
Mitacs is a national, not-for-profit research and development organization that partners with 60 of Canada’s research universities, including the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Regina, thousands of industrial partners, and both federal and provincial governments to build innovation strategies.
