Vancouver and Kelowna

Each year, UBC’s Killam Accelerator Research Fellowships (KARFs) support six exceptional early career researchers to pursue research projects with the potential for significant impact in their field of study. The KARFs are made possible through the Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Fund for Advanced Studies established through a bequest from the late Dorothy J. Killam, and provide two years of funding for focused research.

Join us for two special in-person events, one in Vancouver and one in Kelowna, to hear how the 2023-25 cohort of KARF recipients have advanced their research and scholarship. Lectures at the UBCV event will focus on the theme of health, and lectures at the UBCO event will focus on the theme of sustainability; please see presenter bios and topics below.
