Strategic Framework
UVic’s Strategic Framework (2018-2023) expresses our shared vision, values and priorities. It motivates us to apply our commitment to excellence in research, creativity, teaching, service and engagement. It reminds us that our priority is to serve our students and the world.
We are currently developing a new strategic plan for UVic. Creating a new vision for the university is an exciting opportunity for all of us as we consider what the future might hold and how UVic can position itself well for that future.
ASPIRATION 2030: A Research & Creative Works Strategy
Creating a better world through curiosity, engagement & innovation
At UVic, we’re driven by our curiosity, engagement and innovative spirit to help solve the world’s biggest problems. As we list what we aspire to be and to do by 2030, we know that we are already well on our way. We’re guided by our principles, our extraordinary natural and cultural environment and our deep respect for the learning that has come before.
The UVic Research and Creative Works Strategy identifies UVic’s research aspirations, actions, outcomes and impact areas.
