We're immensely proud to share that UCalgary is the youngest top five research university in Canada, according to Re$earch Infosource, Canada’s Top 50 Research Universities rankings.
UCalgary's $588.5M in sponsored research income for the 2023-24 fiscal year boosted the institution back into the number five spot for the first time since 2021. But what matters most isn’t the ranking itself, it’s what the achievement means for our city and every person who calls it home.
