AML-TN highlights research collaboration and the exchange of knowledge—not only within UBC, but also beyond its borders. Our Research Mobility Program exposes graduate students to diverse perspectives, with the opportunity to gain international research experience and expand their professional networks.
All graduate students in AML-TN are expected to participate in at least one research stay (approximately one month long) during their degree. These stays focus on mentorship while advancing projects in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Note: Students may complete a research stay at an institution not listed below, but these stays must be pre-approved to ensure alignment with goals and adequate supervision.
Contributions & Support
To ensure a successful and productive experience, AML-TN provides:
-
$4,000 financial support to cover student costs associated with the stay
-
Assistance in organizing and planning the visit, including coordination with the host institution
Host institutions provide in-kind support that typically includes:
-
Supervision by a collaborating faculty member at the host institution
- Research and office space, computing resources, and administrative facilitation
-
Exchange of scholarly information, including research papers, indices to theses, and relevant books
-
Invitations to attend scholarly and technical meetings, including seminars, talks, and events
These contributions ensure that students fully engage with the research community, gain hands-on experience, and develop professional relationships that last throughout their careers.
