With more than 170 faculty members and 300 graduate students from all six University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ faculties, the Water Institute is breaking boundaries in water research by providing a forum for interdisciplinary research and education.
Our history of water excellence
The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ established the Water Institute in 2009, building on four decades of excellence in water-related research, education and innovation. Recognizing the collective excellence of water research programs at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, the Water Institute was formed to coordinate and support the extensive group of university researchers, staff, students and partners, and to bring them together within a single institutional setting.
Our path forward in advancing water research and education
Today, ground-breaking, interdisciplinary research is taking place under the institute's five °ù±ð²õ±ð²¹°ù³¦³óÌý³Ù³ó±ð³¾±ð²õ. Four core research projects are also guided by the institute's leadership. Our Collaborative Water Program is a flagship example in Canada, and around the world, of a truly interdisciplinary water graduate program.
