Research Chairs
Research chairs enable the University of Windsor to attract and retain the brightest minds in research and scholarship in a number of disciplines. They deepen our knowledge and improve quality of life, training the next generation of highly skilled people through student supervision, teaching, and the coordination of other researchers' work.
These programs fall into several categories:
- Canada Research Chairs are funded by the Government of Canada to drive Canadian research and development excellence, to create world-class centres of research, and to enhance Canada's competitiveness in the global knowledge-based economy.
- Industrial Research Chairs are funded by corporate partners to support researchers focusing on specific areas of joint interest.
- University of Windsor Research Leadership Chairs are funded internally to provide mentorship and support in each faculty for enhanced research.
- Assumption University Chairs are a joint program with the University of Windsor, benefiting the profile and reputation of both universities in a number of fields of endeavour.
