The University of Manitoba has launched its Strategic Research Plan 2024-29. The plan provides a comprehensive roadmap highlighting seven key themes: foundations; social justice and human rights; research by, for, and with Indigenous peoples; water and food security; health and well-being; climate action and sustainability; and Manitoba, Hudson Bay, Arctic and the world. The plan will expand upon UManitoba’s strengths and embrace interdisciplinary approaches and research methods. It also recognizes Manitoba’s growing Indigenous population. “[W]e have a unique opportunity to pursue a strategy of social and economic reconciliation at scale and with maximum impact,” said UManitoba VP (Research and International) Dr Mario Pinto. “With this plan as our guide, we are not just setting ambitious goals; we are embarking on a journey of discovery.”
