At the European Research Day in Ottawa, on 5 November 2018, the Swedish researcher Karin Björklund from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg will be one of the speakers. She will share her mobility experience in the session: Transatlantic Research for Impact: Featuring best practices of scientific collaboration.
Karin Björklund says: I went to Canada as a postdoc, funded by a Mobility Grant through the Swedish Research Council FORMAS. Once I was in place and started my research, we applied for more funding through Canadian NSERC to cover costs for the lab, etc. I would say that it has been a success story for us in the project because we are still collaborating, 3 years after I left Canada.
