    Research and Innovation

    ³Ô¹ÏÍø is an exceptional community for research and learning at every level. From our roots in Kitchener-Waterloo as a small Lutheran seminary that opened its doors in 1911, we have evolved into a comprehensive, multi-campus, multi-community university with an expanding research profile.

    Today, ³Ô¹ÏÍø offers big opportunities to deeply engage in research with a community of passionate and leading-edge researchers.

    Research at ³Ô¹ÏÍø is built on commitment to the Canadian and international communities we serve. No matter the field of study, our research connects interdisciplinary scholarship and creative activity with communities to address the most pressing local and global challenges.

    Inspired Research. Real Impact.

    In disciplines ranging from behavioural neuroscience to music therapy, ³Ô¹ÏÍø researchers are building our collective understanding of the brain.
