Knowledge and Meaning

Our Initiatives

Home to the largest cohort of researchers in Canada, the University of Toronto is committed to supporting basic research that explores timeless questions and opens up new vistas for human expression, scientific discovery and social progress—from understanding the origins of life on earth, to exploring the complexities of the human experience, to contemplating our place in the cosmos.

Our Campaign will attract major commitments to fundamental research across the sciences, humanities and social sciences to nurture the discovery of ideas, theories and methodologies that not only shape the course of knowledge and deepen our understanding of the world around us, but also pave the way for breakthroughs in applied fields.

Within our Faculty of Arts & Science, for example, there are a number of opportunities to forge new connections among researchers, break down barriers between disciplines and assert our leadership in emerging, globally significant areas of inquiry.
