Strategic Research Plan Consultation

This notice is from the archives of The Notice Board. Information contained in this notice was accurate at the time of publication but may no longer be so.

As you might know, the current Strategic Research Plan (SRP) ends on June 30, 2020 and the Office of Research and Innovation Services invites you to a consultation session to provide feedback on its revision.

The SRP, framed within the University of Lethbridge Strategic Plan, interwined the academic and research portfolios to more effectively support the quality, impact and capacity of research and creative activity at the University. The SRP intentionally highlights broad research directions around which specific initiatives cluster. As such, it does not focus on the research program of any individual faculty member nor does it outline priorities of any department, faculty, or school. It is written to highlight the breadth of activity accross our campus.

We are mindful that all members of the university community should be able to identify their 'place' within the document - specifically, their research contributions align within the research directions that frame this document. We anticipate that for some, 'place' may become 'places', and alignment may appear in more than one research direction. Whatever the case, their contributions are essential in allowing us to fulfill our comprensive mandate.

The consultation sesson will seek answers to the following questions:
1: Do the four research directions outlined in the current plan (available for download here) remain relevant for where we want to be as a comprehensive university?
2: Where do we want to bulid capacity?
3: What metrics should be used to highlight progress made in reaching our goals?

This session will be on Dec. 16 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. in L1050. If you are interested in participating, please send an email to Penny Pickles at pickpj@uleth.ca    

(Please note, if you are unavailable this time, we would still like your feedback.  You are welcome to submit feedback directly via our office email oris@uleth.ca)
