Prizes and distinctions have become a key component of the University of Ottawa’s strategic plan for promoting research excellence and enhancing the visibility of our institution. We have put into place several initiatives and mechanisms to foster a culture that promotes research excellence, increase recognition opportunities for our researchers and celebrate success.
Principles that guide our approach for reaching our goals include:
- The promotion of prizes as a means to foster career growth and further one’s research and knowledge mobilization goals;
- A strong commitment toward making equity, diversity and inclusion an integral part of all processes;
- The celebration of achievements within and outside the uOttawa community.
