SFU student Japreet Lehal recently launched a free, global web platform called GoResearch.ca to connect students and researchers, nationally and internationally.
For Faculty members, staff and campus groups, this is a free place to post your research opportunities and draw from a pool of students and researchers not just at your institution, but nationally, and eventually, globally.
For students this is aimed to be a one-stop platform for finding research opportunities and placements.
