CANADA RESEARCH CHAIRS

Created in 2000 by the federal government, the Canada Research Chairs Program enables Canadian universities, together with their affiliated research institutes and hospitals, to achieve the highest levels of research excellence to become world-class research centres in the global, knowledge-based economy.

The University of Manitoba currently holds 48 Canada Research Chairs. Chairholders are research leaders or rising stars in natural sciences and engineering, health sciences, or social sciences and humanities.
