2019-2020 International Visiting Research Scholars

We are pleased to announce the Peter Wall Institute’s 2019-2020 International Visiting Research Scholars (IVRS).  

The IVRS Program provides funding to bring outstanding scholars to UBC for an extended stay, providing opportunities to foster interdisciplinary academic exchange and catalyze new research directions between UBC and international scholars.

IVRS will spend a minimum of three weeks at UBC, with part-time residence at the Peter Wall Institute, during the academic term from September 2019 – May 2020.
