Sponsor program link: Peter Wall International Research Roundtables
International Research Roundtables are aimed at fostering excellence in research, and serving as a catalyst for collaborative research between international scholars and UBC scholars. The themes or topics must be broad-ranging. They will provide scholars, community leaders, artists, policy makers and others the opportunity to explore a theme, create the foundation for innovative research, prompt important advances in science and society, and/or have a significant impact on the discovery of solutions to important problems.
Up to 5 International Research Roundtables will be awarded annually.
Value: The proposed budget may range from $20,000 to $45,000. The award will support meeting expenses for a Roundtable at the Peter Wall Institute in Vancouver, Canada, for two to five days. Award funds may be used to cover accommodation, meals and travel costs, for up to 20 participants for the duration of the Roundtable.
