Our research commitments

30 September 2026

UC's research is guided by three Research Commitments that reflect our identity, our responsibilities, and the impact we seek to deliver for Aotearoa and the world. Together, they focus our work on flourishing communities, resilient environments, and equitable futures.

HOW TO APPLY

In partnership with Ngāi Tūāhuriri, the University of Canterbury is committed to advancing research that strengthens Aotearoa New Zealand's wellbeing and contributes to global knowledge and discovery. Guided by shared aspirations for flourishing communities, resilient environments and equitable futures, UC supports interdisciplinary research across three Research Commitments and the Signature Capabilities that reflect our distinctive strengths.

Be part of what comes next

Research rarely follows a predictable path. A new idea, collaboration or discovery can open possibilities that were not visible before. By supporting research at UC, you can help create the conditions in which those discoveries happen and give talented people the resources and opportunities they need to pursue them.
