Catalogues on Research and Innovation at U of T

In 2007 and 2008 the Federal and Provincial governments released science and technology strategies, outlining specific priority areas of research where government funds would be targeted; priorities included: environmental sciences and technologies, natural resources and energy, health and related life sciences and technologies, and information and communications technologies.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have a long and strong track record of research and innovation in these areas priority areas, but no comprehensive tool existed to showcase those strengths. In 2008, the Office of the Vice-President, Research, embarked on an initiative to develop framework documents for each of the priority areas. These catalogues are meant to: provide a tool to understand the scope of research across every relevant discipline and all three campuses; help faculty identify areas of synergy and potential collaborators; and enable us to make prompt, targeted responses to government calls for proposals in their priority areas.
