Research Excellence and Impact. This section captures institutional strengths in producing high-quality research on the continuum of fundamental and applied research through activity that further raises Ontario’s profile as a globally recognized research and innovation hub. It also acknowledges that research capacity is strongly linked with graduate education.
Research Excellence and Impact. The analysis showed that ITU must increase its production of Ph.D.s significantly to meet the rapidly growing demand for IT Ph.D.s from society, cf. R1. This must be Growth G1 G2 Contribute to making Ørestad a world-leading competence center for media, culture and communication technology. Grow in size, without lowering standards. Research - Excellence and Impact R1 R2 R3 Increase Ph.D. production. Nourish quality in research. Improve research collaboration and external communication of research. Teaching - Quality and Impact T1 T2 T3 Maintain high quality in teaching and strengthen ties between teaching and research. Strengthen appreciation of the qualifications of ITU graduates in the Danish IT labour market. Increase the share of ITU graduates among employed IT graduates in IT jobs in Denmark. High Standards in University Governance O1 O2 O3 Develop human resources. Increase robustness in ITU top management. Improve productivity, without lowering standards. Figure 2: Strategic Focus Areas done without compromising the quality of the research at ITU in general or of the Ph.D. candidates. Increasing the Ph.D. production is an important way — although not the only way — of nourishing quality in research, which is a strategic focus area in its own right, cf. R2. Nourishing research also involves developing the research themes and com- petence groups in accordance with the ITU research strategy and furthering that every researcher makes the strongest possible research contribution. To improve the visibility and value to society of ITU, we must improve the re- search collaboration with external partners and also improve external communication of research, cf. R3.
Research Excellence and Impact. This section captures institutional strengths in producing high-quality research on the continuum of fundamental and applied research through activity that further raises Ontario’s profile as a globally recognized research and innovation hub. It also acknowledges that research capacity is strongly linked with graduate education. Institutional Approach to Research Excellence and Impact Western ranks among Canada's top-10 research universities and has many areas of scholarship and research where it can lay claim to being both a Canadian and global leader (Research Infosource: Canada’s Top 50 Research Universities, 2016). Our Strategic Plan challenges our campus community to aspire to become a more preeminent research intensive university by raising our stature nationally, and expanding the number of areas that achieve excellence on the world stage. Meeting this challenge starts with creating a culture that places increased value on scholarship and innovation, one that strives more intently to increase the impact and productivity of our research and scholarly activities across and between the disciplines. To support this priority, Western continues to focus more attention and resources on promoting and rewarding: excellence in scholarship and innovation; knowledge creation; and the translation and mobilization of that knowledge into policies and applications useful in the public realm. Western’s size and structure enable us to demonstrate creative approaches in targeted priority research areas. In addition to having broad strengths as a research intensive university, we are well along the path of identifying and consolidating specific areas of research excellence and, as such, we are achieving areas of differentiation. Evidence of this can be seen in our processes, investment of resources, and impacts as described in the following approaches. Selective investment in interdisciplinary areas of strength: Western has a structure that supports interdisciplinary collaborations within and outside the university. For example, in the health-related disciplines, robust relationships with the healthcare system include cross appointments of clinical faculty and university appointments for scientists in affiliated research institutes. Our Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Health Sciences, and Faculty of Engineering have extensive and growing collaborations with industry as, increasingly, do our Faculties of Social Science, Arts & Hum...
Research Excellence and Impact. This section captures institutional strengths in producing high-quality research on the continuum of fundamental and applied research through activity that further raises Ontario’s profile as a globally-recognized research and innovation hub. It also acknowledges that research capacity is strongly linked with graduate education. Institutional Approach to Research Excellence and Impact Scholarly, research and creative activity (SRC) has been fundamental to Xxxxxxx’x evolution as a comprehensive innovation university. SRC is important for graduate programs, experiential opportunities for undergraduate students, Xxxxxxx’x innovation ecosystem and external partnerships. Ryerson aspires to improve its standing among Canada’s top 10 non-medical research universities in terms of research funding and impact. To advance its SRC agenda, Ryerson will continue to engage more undergraduate and graduate students and faculty members in collaborative and interdisciplinary SRC pursuits and focus on attracting strong researchers, external funding and partners. Xxxxxxx’x research focus includes a mandate to ensure that research activities benefit society through communities of practice, commercialization activities and dissemination.
Research Excellence and Impact. Vision 1: The IT University is counted among one of the leading forces within the development of IT.
