The Fall 2018 Canada Graduate Scholarships-Master’s (CGS-M) application is available on the Tri-Agency Research Portal (http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/students-etudiants/pg-cs/cgsm-bescm_eng.asp).

The deadline across Canada for applications is 5pm Pacific Standard Time on Monday, 3 December 2018. After this time, the Research Portal will close, and there will be no opportunity to re-open the application. This is the deadline for all application materials, including reference letters. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that their references are submitted on time. Please note that when identifying UBC as your institution, the official name is “The University of British Columbia”.

Instructions for completing a CGS-M application (including transcript requirements) are available online (http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/ResearchPortal-PortailDeRecherche/Instructions-Instructions/CGS_M-BESC_M_eng.asp). Note: Applicants must carefully review the transcript requirements section of the instructions. This is imperative as it is the primary reason for the rejection of applications.

MFRE Speaker Series

Speaker: Dylan Jones, Founder at Coast Protein

Topic: The Rise of Insects as Food in Canada – Sustainable Cricket Protein Bars and Powders

Date & Time: Friday, Oct 26 2018 3 – 5 pm

Venue: MCML 160

 

About the Speaker:

Dylan views small value-driven businesses as the catalyst for great change in the Canadian economy. He created the idea of Coast Protein to see food production and protein consumption to be completely disrupted. Dylan’s drive for a more sustainable future comes from his love for Canada’s winters and deep, deep powder snow. 

Please also find attached a poster with more details. 

All are welcome!
