University Research Excellence Chairs
In the UPEI Strategic Research Plan (2023鈥2028): Roadmap to Research Excellence, one of the thematic goals is to expand research capacity by developing new resources that increase the number of research chair positions at the University. UPEI鈥檚 reputation and research profile, nationally and internationally, are largely determined by the scholarly accomplishments of its professors.
The designation of 鈥淯niversity Research Excellence Chair鈥 (UREC) recognizes the exceptional research achievements of faculty members. Selected chairholders are outstanding researchers, either early career researchers who are emerging scholars, or already established as leaders in their respective field of research.
