Science at the University of Alberta is globally recognized for excellence in research and education, working to position our community ahead of economic cycles, ecological shifts, competitive opportunities, and disruptive technologies by pushing the boundaries of discovery, knowledge, and innovation.

Together, as a community of leaders, we have developed a multi-layered plan with achievable short-term accountabilities and long-term goals within a five year timeframe. Standing together upon a strong foundation built by our alumni, donors, community, and industry partners, we continue to focus on our mission of conducting world-leading research and the authentic teaching and training of the next generation of scientists. After all, they are the pipeline of discovery, innovation, and talent that will make our world a better place, foster our community, and fuel the economy in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and beyond.
