Elevating Research and Innovation Impact
Schulich Momentum Pillar
Research and innovation within the Schulich School of Engineering has tremendous impact in our community. We are developing disciplinary and transdisciplinary leading-edge tools, knowledge, solutions and technologies to address challenges from the nanoscale to the global scale and beyond.
For Schulich to continue building on its research impact, and to reach its goal of becoming a global top-150 engineering faculty, we will focus on:
Intensity while strengthening mentorship and support for researchers. We will grow our graduate student population, number and diversity of research chairs, research funding, and scholarly and innovation outputs. We will launch collaborative research labs, so innovative ideas can be explored quickly with technical support. We will increase funding and opportunities for undergraduate students in our research activities.
Collaboration to solve grand challenges. Schulich will expand partnerships across campus, with industry, start-ups, governments, top universities, non-profit organizations and communities to maximize our reach and impact. We will translate our research into practice and drive our growing innovation economy.
Recognition of researchers and their contributions. We will elevate the profiles of our researchers by telling their stories locally, nationally and internationally. Schulich will champion and support an increase in the number of fellowships, prizes and awards received by our faculty, staff and students.
