Upcoming Events
UBC Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies is inviting faculty members and PhD student teams to submit a proposal for the PhD Collab Pilot program. The PhD Collab pilot provides guidance and awards up to $100,000 to support inter/transdisciplinary teams of UBC PhD students, faculty members, and others as appropriate, to work together on the co-production of new knowledge and/or applications to address complex questions or problems.
Have you ever considered the different ways you listen—to others, to yourself, to the world around you?
