NSERC Info Sessions for Doctoral and Postdoctoral Applicants

Standard

NSERC 2024 – Doctoral Scholarships and Postdoctoral Fellowships Q&A sessions

NSERC is hosting the following question and answer sessions for the doctoral scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships programs:

These sessions will be hosted as live Q&A MS teams events. They are supported by a series of informational videos available on the NSERC YouTube channel. These videos are intended to completely replace the presentation portion of the NSERC sessions, allowing NSERC and applicants to engage in a more in-depth and detailed Q&A session than they would normally have time for. Participants should watch the videos in advance and come to the Q&A session with specific questions in mind.

Please attend any of the sessions that best suits your schedule. Registration is not required.
