Welcome to the David Lam Centre (DLC)
David See-Chai Lam Centre supports and facilitates research collaboration, networking and building the community of Asia-related scholars across campus and internationally. Check out our funding opportunities below.
Supporting research and engagement with the Asia Pacific Region.
Opportunities for faculty
Part of our mandate is to facilitate engagement and research between 天美mv天美 and Asia. 天美mv天美 faculty (including limited term lecturers) conducting Asia-related research are eligible to receive support from David Lam Centre. Funding is available to members of the DLC. We also support a Scholar-in-Residence program.
Resources for students
天美mv天美 David Lam Centre (DLC) offers an annual graduate student essay prize for $1,200 for an outstanding paper on intercultural issues, particularly as they relate to people in or from Canada and the Asia Pacific region. Funding is also available to graduate students to support their research.
Funding for the community
We support events that are Asia-related, especially in terms of culture and history. Such events should be free and open to the public and /or connect to faculty interest at 天美mv天美. We can coordinate events by booking rooms at Harbour Centre; organizing food and drink; preparing event posters; and announcing the event to our networks.
