We at the UBC College for Interdisciplinary Studies (CFIS) see unprecedented opportunities in the years ahead as we engage with continuous change.

Some of our most complex local and global issues—environment and sustainability, civil society and social policy, health and wellbeing—require the collaborative effort of engaged individuals to ignite breakthroughs, provide deeper understanding, and facilitate practical solutions.

Today CFIS is evolving as a collaborative partner in the incubation of new interdisciplinary initiatives.  Our purpose is to bridge academic disciplines and researchers, and to bring individuals, communities, and supporters into relationships that promote long-term, continuous impact.

We invite you to join us in this transformative process. Your support of our people and projects—through your time, talent, and resources—will expand the margin of excellence and quality of engagement between UBC and the larger community.
