UBC’s strategic directions sets our path toward the 2050 vision, supported by annual actions informed by expert input and community consultation. These actions reflect a shared commitment across the university to move us towards a prosperous future.

Year One

Action 1

Deepen the understanding of the value of undergraduate research and develop a plan to increase undergraduate research opportunities.

Action 2

Develop infrastructure and associated support for climate resilience and bio-innovation research and innovation activities across two campuses.

Notes:

  • The actions outlined as a part of Strategic Directions 2025–2030 work alongside the strategies committed to in Shaping UBC’s Next Century 2018–2028 (PDF).
  • These actions, some of which are multi-year, will be reviewed and renewed annually as our community and context evolve
