Inaugural Cohort of Institutional Core Research Facilities.

June 01, 2025

Last year, Western established a framework of support for core research facilities to consider economies of scale and ensure a coordinated effort to maximise their efficient use and impact. To that end, Western Research has announced six institutional core research facilities for the inaugural cohort, including: 

Brain & Mind  (Social Science);
Wind Engineering, Energy & Environment Research Facility  (WindEEE) (Engineering);
Hearing Health Research Core  (Health Sciences);
Surface Science Western  (Science);
Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping (Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry); and
Imaging Pathogens for Knowledge Translation  (ImPaKT) (Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry).
 

This is an important strategic opportunity to strengthen Western’s research impact and to support key research facilities and areas of strength. The institutional core research facilities will operate alongside faculty-level core facilities, which are overseen by faculties and departments. For more information about core research facilities at Western, please reach out to Bryan Neff, Associate Vice-President (Research).
