A true strategic powerhouse in research, the Université de Sherbrooke (UdeS) continues to stand out among Canada's top research universities. In addition to reinforcing its position among the top 15 Canadian universities in terms of research revenue for a third consecutive year, UdeS once again ranked first in terms of research revenue growth in 2021.
These outstanding results are from the latest annual list of Canada's Top 50 Research Universities. Like last year, UdeS again ranked 14th. Research Infosource, the organization that issues the rankings, has also released its 20-Year University Spotlights highlighting the remarkable trajectory of UdeS and its unique research ecosystem.
Over two decades, UdeS posted the largest growth in research revenue and the largest increase in research revenue from non-profit organizations.
Research income is the money that a university receives to support its research activities and includes fellowships, research grants, and contracts awarded by private companies, government bodies, or non-profits.
Professor Jean-Pierre Perreault, Vice-President, Research and Graduate Studies, showed tremendous pride at the incredible success of UdeS research: "Not only did we maintain our 14th-place ranking in the Top 50 list for a second year in a row, we are also at the head of the pack in terms of research revenue growth for the second time in four years. This accomplishment shows the relevance and scope of our research teams' work to respond to the major societal issues of today and tomorrow."
According to the 20-Year University Spotlights, UdeS ranks 2nd in terms of growth in corporate research revenue and 4th in terms of growth in cross-sector publications. These results attest to the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of UdeS research, which further stands out through its partnership approach.
