International Research and Collaboration:
Funding Opportunities at UBC’s Okanagan campus and beyond

Internal

Invited International Distinguished Visitor Fund

The Invited International Distinguished Visitor Fund provides opportunities for UBC faculty to invite international colleagues to visit UBC and engage with the campus community and share their research and expertise.  Examples of engagement activities include providing presentations and workshops; conducting research activities; and collaborating with faculty and students.  The application for funding must be submitted by a faculty member at UBC’s Okanagan campus on behalf of their international colleague.  The Office of Research Services is available to facilitate the pairing of suitable research colleagues if an interested international applicant is not currently connected with a faculty member at UBC’s Okanagan campus.

Application Deadline: February 15, October 15

Please bring completed applications to the Office of Research Services in FIP336 for processing.  They will be forwarded to the adjudication committee on your behalf. For more information, please contact Kirsten Bennett, Manager, Campus Internationalization: kirsten.bennett@ubc.ca
