All Canadians should be proud of the global impact of Canada's leading research universities.
By focusing on excellence, Canada has established a research ecosystem which develops talent, drives innovation and delivers impact across the country. Leading research universities are central to the value this brings to all Canadians.

In a turbulent world, what role can Canada's leading research universities play?
In these uncertain times, the value proposition of research universities remains strong reported an insightful panel at #CSPC2024.
Now is the moment to underline to policy makers the opportunity for social mobility offered by a university education and the wider economic prosperity driven by innovative research on our campuses.
