Brock University is home to over 19,000 students and 600 faculty across six academic faculties, with 12 Canada Research Chairs. While we have grown from our roots in the Niagara region, Brock welcomes students and scholars from across the world, fostering global partnerships and initiatives. We continue to define areas of research excellence and emergent opportunities, guided by principles of equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI), and reconciliation with Indigenous communities.

Brock is committed to nurturing a culture of research and creative excellence by investing in infrastructure and enhancing high-impact, transdisciplinary research. The Canada Research Chairs program serves as a catalyst for collaboration and amplifies research impact across diverse fields. To explore the breadth of research happening across Brock, please visit our Faculties and Institutes and Centres pages.

As part of our Strategic Research Plan, Brock University has identified five key research themes that showcase our strengths and institutional focus. Each theme builds on our existing capacity through established research centres, institutes, and transdisciplinary hubs, along with collaborations with community and industry partners and state-of-the-art research facilities.
