Visiting Scholar Application | York Centre for Asian Research

YCAR will contact you after we have received your completed application to confirm receipt and/or if we require additional information before considering your application.

All applications go before the YCAR Membership Committee, which meet six times per academic year: 15 January, 15 March, 15 June, 15 September, 15 October and 1 December.

PLEASE NOTE that York University and YCAR continue to operate at reduced capacity and will continue to do so into the Winter 2022 term. As such, all applicants should provide a strong justification why a physical presence in Toronto for the research connected with their proposal/visit is necessary for its success.

All queries can be directed to: ycar@yorku.ca.
