Meet the people that make UBC a top-40 research university and explore how you can get involved.
Discover the who, what, why and how of UBC research this March as the Office of the VP, Research and Innovation presents Plug Yourself into UBC Research - a three-part series for undergraduate students.
Get lots of ideas, find a few answers and develop one big question.
