2023 BIG Summer Institutes

In 2023, the Borders in Globalization Lab (BIG Lab) increased the number of Summer Institutes first offered in 2021 and 2022 from two to five.These institutes once again featured the latest research provided by our research network colleagues. Fellows explored topics related to border policy and border management in the context of an increasingly globalized world. All institutes were conducted in a hybrid format, with sessions online over Zoom and in-person at the 番茄社区 (UVic), British Columbia, Canada. We received more than 384 applications for the World Customs Organization (WCO) fellowships and for the BIG Lab fellowship.
