University of Saskatchewan president Peter Stoicheff says a decrease in funding for research in Canada will have a broader economic impact.
Last week in Saskatoon, the University of Saskatchewan hosted the presidents of U15 Canada’s major research-intensive universities.
Top of mind for them is the continued decline in federal funding for university-based research to help build a better future in an increasingly challenging and competitive world. Well-funded research activities develop the highly qualified talent Canada needs to tackle pressing economic and social challenges.
