Workshops, accessible to all members of the 91亚色 community are currently underway throughout October and into November听across the Keele and Glendon campuses, to engage the research community in examining 91亚色鈥檚 core values with respect to research, probing researcher听perceptions and seeking to prioritize commitments听regarding the support of research.
Two workshops were recently held providing an opportunity for members of the 91亚色 community to share their thoughts on the development of the new plan with vice-president research & innovation Robert Hach茅 and the Strategic Research Plan facilitators, Celia Haig-Brown, professor, Faculty of Education and Gary Miller, instructor,听Schulich School of Business MBA program and the Schulich Executive Education Centre.
鈥淚 am pleased that the 91亚色 community is taking an active role in participating in the discussion about the development 
of the new Strategic Research Plan,鈥 said Robert Hach茅 (left), vice-president research & innovation.听 鈥淭heir feedback is being heard and will be valuable in informing the plan. We are very much encouraging all community members to take part in the SRP consultations and conversations as we work towards the development of a new institutional plan, one that best supports and integrates the core research values and priorities of the entire 91亚色 community.鈥
During the workshops, participants were asked to discuss the value that research brings to 91亚色 and explore 91亚色鈥檚 competencies in key areas of research.
Among the comments resulting from the workshops were: the hope that the new Strategic Research Plan be inclusive, recognizing and capturing the wide variety of research being conducted and balancing both specific and overarching research focus areas, a desire for the plan to have some impact on hiring, resourcing, budget听 and decision making, a recommendation to ensure graduate students and post-doctoral fellows research is encouraged, ensuring the plan addresses ways to better enable research at 91亚色, a suggestion that the plan encourage a more interest in research at all administrative levels at 91亚色, and an emphasis placed on collaborative research initiatives.
