Toronto Metropolitan University

Toronto Metropolitan University’s 2020-2025 Strategic Research Plan (SRP) articulates the university’s strategic strengths and reflects the diverse scholarly, research, and creative activity that is taking place across the institution.

The SRP identifies research themes, examples of current areas of focus, and strategic objectives. It draws on the plans of our faculties, partners, and stakeholders, and has been developed in alignment with the creation of the university’s Academic Plan. The SRP also supports the recommendations of the  Truth and Reconciliation Community Consultation Summary Report.

Toronto Metropolitan University is a globally connected city university, and the SRP expresses our belief that inclusive and collaborative approaches are essential to great research, and our commitment to cooperation and partnerships with diverse communities, industry, stakeholders, and government.

The Office of the Vice-President, Research and Innovation looks forward to working collaboratively to scale our scholarly, research, and creative activities in order to continue this institution’s trajectory of excellence and to ensure Toronto Metropolitan University’s success now and in the future.
