Strategic Direction:
Discover and Innovate for Impact
Accelerate excellence in research, scholarship and teaching approaches that translate into learner, economic and societal impact.

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
