No. You need to apply for UBC admission separately. TerreWEB is a program within UBC. You may apply for TerreWEB funding (through our website) before being accepted into a UBC graduate program, but you must obviously be accepted into UBC before being eligible to receive the funds.

If you are granted funding by TerreWEB you are a TerreWEB scholar! You are expected to fully participate in workshops, seminars and pursue all initiatives with TerreWEB collaborators through internships, etc.
Non-funded students may also be considered TerreWEB “associates” if they are supervised/co-supervised by a TerreWEB co-applicant or Suzanne Simard (the TerreWEB head). They are eligible to participate in TerreWEB events and benefit from TerreWEB training opportunities such as internships or travel funding.

Students will conduct research in their UBC home departments and participate in TerreWEB training initiatives on top of that. Examples are the ongoing seminar series, workshops, internships on and off campus as well as lab rotations. Aside from that, students will work on communication of their project, which ties into their research and will be able to draw on TerreWEB resources such as our diverse collaborators and TerreWEB core members.

TerreWEB expects that the communication strategy of your research is an integral part of your proposal. Before you start thinking of a certain communication tool, however, try to identify who the audience / the stakeholders of your research would be. Then try to come up with a communication strategy that might reach this group / these groups effectively. Students are encouraged to be creative in their communication strategies.
We don't expect you to present the perfect strategy (since you might want to modify your strategy down the road - according to what you will have learned at TerreWEB), however, we want to see that you have really thought about who your audience is and how you could address them.
Please also indicate delivery dates (e.g. how often and when are you going to reach out to your stakeholders, when would you hold a workshop, write/publish the non-scientific article, when the website would be launched, how much/often you would post updates to your site, etc.) as well as how you will evaluate the effectiveness of your strategy.
