This third and final volume of the 2007-08 edition of Trends focuses on the resources that Canadian universities have to support their teaching and research activities. We live, learn and work in an increasingly global environment, and understanding funding trends in an international context becomes
even more important.

Highlights of some of the key findings from the internationalization survey. The latest statistics show how universities in Canada are striving to incorporate an international element into all facets of their teaching, research and service.

Building on our inaugural 2005 edition, the 2008 report provides an in-depth account of Canadian R&D with particular emphasis on the activities of the university sector. It also examines, through analysis of national and international trends, how several drivers of change will impact university research in Canada and internationally in the years to come.

This edition explores how Canadian universities collaborate with other sectors, looking at the wide range of these research partnerships, the mechanisms that facilitate them and the opportunities and challenges they face. As illustrated through examples of collaborative research projects undertaken by universities and their private sector, government, community and international partners, Canadian universities continue to make outstanding advances of which we can all be proud, and more importantly, from which we all will benefit.

Highlights of the 2008 Students for Development program.
