The Wall Summer Institute for Research (WSIR) is an intensive week-long international workshop held at the Wall Institute to push forward a critical topic. A feature of the program is the holding of a follow-up Research Retreat later in another part of the world. These retreats have created several institutional important affiliations for the Wall Institute, including:

The School of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, Remin University of China; Centre for Global Change and Health, The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine; and the Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto.

The Peter Wall Solutions Initiative (PWSI) enables UBC faculty members to address issues of societal importance through innovative, interdisciplinary and academically rigorous research projects that engage with end-users or community partners to develop practical research solutions that can be adopted by those end-users or other target communities.

The PWSI was introduced as a three-year pilot project by the Board of Trustees of the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies at UBC in October 2010 and is funded by the Peter Wall Endowment of the Institute, though it is not an official program of the Institute.  For more information, please visit the PWSI website.
