First annual research report

 

Vice-Provost Research Truong Vo-Van and the staff of the Office of Research have published the first annual report on research at the university.

It takes the form of a colourful 18-page viewbook of photos and articles about research and creative work around the university, from a project on early literacy to the growing collaborations between artists and engineers.

Vo-Van called the publication of the report a milestone. As an institution long known for its teaching, Concordia can now celebrate its research successes as well. Revenues from research and creation have shown an exceptional 150-per-cent increase in the past five years.

“We must show the public that benefits derived from research are multifaceted,” Vo-Van said. Research and creative activities contribute in a vital way to academic programs, help us define ourselves as an institution, give shape to progressive social policies, and create new wealth through inventions and discoveries.
