Build Canada’s research advantage
Mobilize university research to advance Canada's national priorities and build sovereign capability
To strengthen Canada’s economy, security and global competitiveness, the country needs research capacity that can respond to national priorities and emerging challenges. That means advancing breakthroughs in areas such as artificial intelligence, health, clean growth and defence, while also generating the legal, ethical and public policy expertise needed to ensure new technologies are developed responsibly.
Universities help make that possible. Institutions of all sizes contribute to Canada’s research ecosystem by driving discovery, training talent, supporting communities and helping governments and industries respond to complex challenges. From scientific breakthroughs to policy expertise and community-based research, universities help Canada stay competitive in a rapidly changing world.
Here’s how Canada can build a stronger research advantage:
