A Refresh of Shaping UBC’s Next Century

Strategic Direction:

Excel in the Development and Application of Emerging Technologies

Advance the creation and responsible use of emerging technologies, particularly AI, for research, teaching, student learning, and operations.

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

Deliver digital infrastructure and support to enable the use of AI in research, pedagogical development and learning.

Action 2

Equip students with ethical AI literacies through training and support programs and enable faculty integration and evaluation of AI in curriculum development and pedagogy to advance innovation and learner preparedness.

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.
