Event Planning and Co-Hosting

The HRI welcomes the opportunity to partner or co-host events and guest presentations that align with its mission. We encourage HRI members to work with the Institute as a venue for logistical and promotional support for their knowledge translation and exchange activities. The Institute can provide letters of support and draft budgets for project grants. Contact hri@unbc.ca for options and costing for event planning and co-hosting.
