University research
What’s the value of university research? For many it might seem like a simple question with a straightforward answer about the profound social, economic and cultural impact of academic investigation. Canadians seem convinced that university-based research is important, infusing and informing all aspects of our lives, and leading to enhanced prosperity and a better quality of life.
But while Canadians say we do value research, we still want to know more about the impact of new knowledge and discoveries on Canada’s society.
Canadian universities and various organizations that fund research publish magazines, websites, electronic newsletters and other vehicles to help address the public’s need for more information.
AUCC has created an online compendium of stories and vehicles. By showcasing great stories, but most importantly, great research, we demonstrate the value of university research and illustrate how universities help us enhance our health, better understand diverse cultures and society, and boost our economy.
