Global networks

UBC aims to partner widely and to engage in global networks through which we can facilitate the convergence of knowledge and expertise around issues of global relevance. This requires multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder collaborations that leverage expertise across the university and engage with networks of a wide range of partners focused on the same.  

We actively participate in a number of networks that have members from diverse regions, countries, cultures and economies in different phases of development, all of which represent a unique opportunity for learning about issues of global relevance and how local contextual factors shape these issues.
