Opening doors for research and innovation
The work of York’s researchers and 27 research centers touches almost every facet of human life. This strength, combined with our capacity for unique collaborations and synergies, has attracted a rich and diverse group of external partners who work with us to ensure our research is mobilized for maximum impact on Canada and around the world.
York research continues to support our overall strategy by responding to our fast-paced, evolving community and challenging economic times. We are leading initiatives as York Region’s research-intensive university and fostering partnerships to expand our research reputation on the world stage.
I invite you to engage with our researchers, to view our strategy, initiatives and York’s research strengths. Our doors are open to collaboration as we seek solutions to scientific and societal challenges
