The Academic Plan

Through broad consultation, our university community has once again charted a bold and exciting course for the future of the University of Calgary.

The Academic Plan includes three academic priorities: prioritizing people, connecting communities, and driving innovation. These are connected through the value propositions of student experience and impact.

The 2018-23 Academic Plan and 2018-23 Research Plan are the roadmaps to the Eyes High Strategy 2017-22.

Strategic Priorities

Prioritizing People

Prioritizing People

We must work to continually prioritize our people by creating a safe, inclusive and respectful culture of excellence and engagement where people feel valued for the contributions they are making; where diversity of views, thought and culture exists in a respectful and collaborative work environment; where leadership from all is encouraged; and where all are empowered and enabled.

Connecting Communities

Connecting Communities

We will connect to all of our communities near and far, including our alumni community, by being engaged citizens, by working with community members to discover new ideas and create new art and cultural expressions and by translating new knowledge into innovative applications that will be of mutual benefit to the university and community.

Driving Innovation

Driving Innovation

Innovation is both a process and an outcome. Driving innovation has two key parts: a recognized need and a novel idea. Linking these two parts at our university through entrepreneurial thinking will be very exciting for creative endeavours championed by all units.
