Acadia’s Research Infrastructure
Acadia has a world-class research environment. The University has made significant investments in cutting-edge infrastructure and resources over the past 15 years, and now has a wide range of unique spaces, laboratories and centres. Since 1997, the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) has funded 18 infrastructure projects at Acadia valued at over $3 million. Many of these projects have received provincial funding as well. And, in addition to our CFI-funded spaces, there are many other active Research Centres and spaces, both on and off-campus, and across disciplines.
Many of Acadia's research resources are available to industry for collaborative and contract research activities. Acadia is keen to build the profile of our research infra-structure and open up our research resources and centres for more industry focused activities.
