Plug Yourself Into UBC Research

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.

How to design a research project that matters to you… and the world

March 27, Noon - 1pm

Join UBC’s Professor Christopher Rea (Asian Studies, UBCV) to learn how to turn a passion into a project, when to ask “meaningless” questions, and why you’ll never be happy if you “narrow down your topic.”
