Mount Royal University has a campus-wide culture of changemaking that, through knowledge mobilization, inspires and empowers us to create meaningful change in partnership with communities (local, regional, national, global). Every researcher is a changemaker, and as an AshokaU Changemaker Campus, Mount Royal is dedicated to celebrating research excellence and how our faculty and students contribute.
Through community-engaged research, our goal is to provide faculty and students with the opportunities, skills and resources needed to work in a mutually beneficial partnership with their community, so together they can tackle the complex social, economic, and environmental challenges of our time.
Research is about breaking boundaries, testing the limits of knowledge, applying expertise for a greater good and changing the world around us for the better. Our researchers are committed to excellence, aiming to address real-world problems while adhering to the principles of academic integrity.
As a signatory to the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), Mount Royal’s approach to research and scholarship is already well aligned with DORA’s principles and reflects the strategic direction for research excellence that Mount Royal is founded on.
