The 2025 competitions for UBC’s Wall Fellowships and Wall Research Awards are now open.
These awards initially focus on research and scholarly activities relating to three areas of interest:
- Sustainable approaches to and development of the general urban environment, including water, energy and transportation infrastructure in British Columbia;
- Environmental protection of oceans, beaches and waterfronts that impact British Columbia; and
- Sustainable approaches to resource-intensive industry in British Columbia.
Projects within these areas of interest will principally relate to British Columbia but may also apply to and address other Canadian and international regions.
