International Research Workshop August 17, 2022 - 2:18pm

This workshop is being co-hosted by SRCA and the Department of International Education as part of World VIU Days.

Participants will also learn about the services and support available to them if they decide to pursue these types of activities.

GROW: Graduate Research Opportunities at Work August 24, 2022 - 11:10am

VIU employs many employees who are also engaged in graduate research and study while working. Graduate work can be isolating and stressful, especially when also working full-time, and even more so for VIU graduate scholars who may have no sense of connection to their graduate program cohort, which is probably at a different university.  The GROW Network aims to support VIU employees to be successful in their graduate pursuits by building a community of practice that shares resources, tools and strategies and that organizes professional development and training opportunities.

Internal Funding Opportunities August 17, 2022 - 2:09pm

VIU has a range of internal funding opportunities to help support you in your SRCA projects. Come and learn from the Research Grant Facilitators about these funding opportunities.

 

Gaining an EDGE: VIU’s professional development program to develop competencies in SRCA August 17, 2022 - 2:19pm

No matter where you are at in your SRCA journey, there is always an opportunity to learn and refine your knowledge and skills. Join this session to learn about the new EDGE program which has been created to provide employees with growth opportunities to enhance their confidence and competence when engaging in SRCA.

 

Engaging Students in Your SRCA August 11, 2022 - 3:26pm

Engaging students in research and creative activity is an important priority for VIU. Come and learn about the range of support mechanisms available at VIU to allow you to encourage and reap the benefits of student involvement in your research.

Mini Science Fair August 5, 2022 - 8:41pm

One of our favourite parts when speaking with visitors to the station is hearing the kid's share their own facts about topics they are interested in!
