To build expertise together

Because of UVic's long-standing tradition of working with and within our larger community, our researchers are leaders in their fields renowned for innovative research that has resulted in tool creation, policy change, greater public awareness and effective solutions to the world's local and global challenges.

This group of more than 800 researchers was awarded more than $98 million in external research grants and contracts in 2009/10, triple the amount ten years ago--making UVic one of Canada’s premier research-intensive universities with faculty who are committed to building ideas, innovations and expertise with research partners (and then making sure that these findings are useful and accessible to those who can use them).
