Out of the Box: Celebrating Interdisciplinary! Graduate Conference 2014
Friday, March 21st, 2014 | Liu Institute for Global Issues | UBC
This annual conference was established in 2013 by graduate students in the Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program (ISGP) to foster, through sharing innovative research and expertise, a sense of community among interdisciplinarians across UBC. All conference presenters are graduate students, and while anyone is welcome to register and attend, graduate students are particularly encouraged.
Our sponsors have made it possible for this full-day conference to be highly accessible to graduate students: there is no registration fee and the conference includes catered morning and afternoon breaks, and lunch. Registration is now open, and we invite you to join us. (Note: Due to occupancy restrictions, conference participation is limited to 100 conferees.SIGN UP TODAY!)

Change to Thesis/Dissertation Licence for UBC Library
The UBC Library has developed a new online cIRcle Non-Exclusive Distribution License, very similar to the current UBC Thesis Licence Agreement which students have been using up to now. The License will be applicable to theses and dissertations as well as to all non-thesis work in cIRcle, and will likely go into effect on Friday March 7, 2014. The current UBC Thesis Licence Agreement form will be discontinued.
NOTE: This new online cIRcle Licence will be presented to students as part of the submission process. They do NOT have to submit a paper License form. None of the other procedures have changed. Key information:
· Students retain full copyright to their theses, as always.
· The new cIRcle License clearly states the restrictions on theses via a Creative Commons license. It specifies that, by default, works deposited in cIRcle will correspond to the most restrictive of the Creative Commons licenses. Links for details.
