Royal Roads University's three-year Strategic Research Plan (2020/21 to 2022/23) is a guiding and directional document.
As a university-wide plan, it calls for commitment, support and action from all areas of the university. This includes senior management, deans, faculty, research services, the library, marketing, communications, computer services, student services and others.
The Strategic Research Plan is meant to be a starting point to build a vigorous research climate and culture at Royal Roads and to guide the development of specific areas of focus as we move into the future. It is meant to be dynamic and to continuously evolve as new challenges and information emerge.
The plan builds on and flows from Royal Roads University's vision: Inspiring people with the courage to transform the world.
The plan also expands on the second goal in Royal Roads University's strategic vision document: "Explore, share, advance: We support interdisciplinary research that pushes boundaries, removes barriers and finds solutions to today's critical issues."
Goals
The plan includes the following four goals:
- advance, enable and support quality research
- expand the visibility, reach, and impact of Royal Roads University research
- identify and focus on priority challenge areas for research at Royal Roads University
- expand opportunities to conduct research into learning and teaching at Royal Roads University
