Message from the Vice-President, Research and Innovation

I am delighted to present the 2024–2025 annual report celebrating the scholarly, research and creative (SRC) achievements of our faculty and students.

This was a historic year for Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). TMU secured $131.4 million in externally funded research — the highest level in the university’s history. This milestone reflects not only growth in funding, but growth in research intensity, scale and institutional ambition. Our faculty continued to publish at a strong pace, produce award-winning creative works and build partnerships that extended reach and impact. Their SRC endeavours shape public policy, advance technology, strengthen professional practices and contribute solutions to complex societal challenges.
