A community for those who care about development.


We are UBC’s only club bringing together students to discuss the economic, social, and fiscal conditions of the developing world.

What we do here at DEVEC.

Our mission is to increase the presence and progress around Development Economics as a field and interest at UBC.

Academic Exploration

With the help of the Vancouver School of Economics, we are able to dive deep into the research at the forefront of development.

Professional Pathways

Through a large alumni network, we expose students to the careers conducive to fostering their interest in development.

Community Forums

Our events welcome like-minded students to create a forum for discussion on the issues plaguing the developing world.
