This year’s rankings also place the University in the undergraduate Winner’s Circle in two categories – first in Ontario (second in Canada) for not-for-profit research income growth percentage and second in Canada for corporate research income growth percentage.

“Our faculty, graduate and undergraduate students work closely with diverse partners to conduct significant leading-edge research,” says Dr. Cathy Bruce, Trent acting vice president of research and innovation. “The 2021 Research Infosource rankings clearly reflect the growth and leadership of community-based and partnered research at Trent, with top-two honours in the corporate and not-for-profit research categories. Being number two in research income growth in our class is a testament to the dedication of Trent researchers and the engagement of our broader research community.”

Trent was ranked second among undergraduate institutions for the growth percentage of corporate and not-for-profit research income, increasing research income in these categories by nearly 300% and more than 3,000%, respectively, over the last 20 years.
