Research at TRU

TRU’s new 2022-27 Strategic Research Plan articulates the key challenge areas where we will strive to make significant contributions during the next five years:

1. Understanding and responding to changing climate, its consequences for our environments (built, natural, social), and pursuing sustainable solutions;
2. Contributing to greater social cohesion and sense of belonging through a commitment to social justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and social responsibility;
3. Strengthening health, quality of life, and cultural sustainability in our local and regional communities;
4. Advancing technological, social and economic development and innovation that improves people’s lives; and,
5. Seeking truth, reconciliation, and rights through Indigenous-led research and capacity building.
