Trent earned three distinctions among undergraduate universities for growth in research funding from international government funders and for strengths in publishing research on natural sciences and climate change.

“Trent’s research community continues to distinguish itself by building meaningful international collaborations that deepen interdisciplinary understanding and expand multinational perspectives on global issues,” said Dr. Holger Hintelmann, interim vice-president, Research & Innovation. “These collaborations strengthen Canada’s role as an innovative, forward-looking nation—attracting talent, investment, and new opportunities. Research is about discovery. The progression from ideation to innovation fuels economic and social development in ways that benefit communities here at home and around the world.”

In the past year, faculty in Trent’s School for the Study of Canada and the Trent School of the Environment, including Canada research chairs, received several research grants from Norwegian agencies in support of collaborative projects focused on the Arctic. These funding achievements earned Trent Research Infosource’s Winner’s Circle distinctions among undergraduate universities in all three categories related to international government research income.

Trent has also expanded global research collaborations in the past year with support from programs such as the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Scholarships.

This grant supports connections between faculty and students at Trent with international partners through the International Institute of Environmental Studies to study and address shared natural resource and climate challenges.
