The University of Waterloo has once again been named Research University of the Year among Canadian comprehensive universities by Research Infosource Inc.
This marks fifteen years straight as the top research university in Canada.
Waterloo’s President and Vice-Chancellor, Vivek Goel, said the University’s research excellence stems from its continued focus on empowering its students, faculty, and community to seek out solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
“As an institution, we’re committed to being bold and creative in our teaching and research to ensure a stronger and healthier tomorrow,” Goel said. “Waterloo researchers excel in fundamental and applied research conducted in a unique environment that integrates experiential education and entrepreneurship.”
Waterloo also ranked first for research income and corporate research income among Canada’s Top 50 Research Universities in the comprehensive category and second for not-for-profit research income in the same category.
“We are delighted that Research Infosource has once again recognized Waterloo’s research excellence among Canadian comprehensive universities,” said Charmaine Dean, vice-president of Research and International at the University of Waterloo. “It is a true reflection of the dedication of Waterloo researchers and their pursuit of global change to build a more sustainable future for humanity.”
Research Infosource’s Canada’s Top 50 Research Universities rankings are based on a balanced set of impact measures that distinguish exceptional achievement in research income and publishing research in leading scientific journals.
