Academics Without Borders

Academics Without Borders (AWB) is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening universities in low- and middle-income countries through volunteer-led projects focused on providing training for local experts and conducting research that is essential for national development. Brock is a member of AWB’s network of Canadian institutions, enabling our faculty and staff to propose and participate in the organization’s capacity-building volunteer projects worldwide.

Faculty members interested in submitting a proposal or looking for more information should email Cecilia Garcia Vega, Project Officer, International Partnerships, at cgarciavega@brocku.ca or visit the Academics Without Borders website.
