SYNERGY: Our Annual Report for 2024

We are pleased to share Synergy, our Annual Report for 2024. In it, you'll find evidence of the collaboration and partnerships taking place across UTM — the synergistic effects of leadership, faculty, staff, and students working together to support and empower research discovery and impact.

In our section Numbers, we provide information on funding, partnerships, publications, and internal support. In Achievements, you'll learn about SpinUp's first year as UTM's new startup incubator, celebrate our Canada Research Chairs and award recipients, and browse some of the top research stories that were published this past year. Finally, meet the people of the OVPRI and get updates on our core facilities in Team. 

Read the 2024 report to learn how we're supporting the exciting research happening across the UTM campus.
