UBC is moving to a new system and associated processes for HR and Finance in November 2020. Modernizing and simplifying processes and bringing them into an intuitive, integrated system called Workday will improve researchers’ access to real-time information and facilitate grants management.
This event is being held for Faculties involved in Natural Sciences and Engineering research, including recipients of NSERC funds. Please join a workshop to learn more about key changes and benefits that are relevant to you as Principal Investigators and Research Support Staff.
Why attend? To learn about Workday, see the Research Grants Dashboard firsthand and ask questions to IRP subject matter experts.
When is this workshop? 23 June 2020, 3pm – 5pm
