Formerly Ryerson University. As Canada's comprehensive innovation university, Toronto Metropolitan University engages in scholarly, research and creative (SRC) activities that address real-world challenges to drive economic growth and improve quality of life for Canadians. Innovation is at the core of our research mandate. Our centres and institutes bring together faculty and industry partners to solve research problems and provide opportunities for students to learn. Our strong focus on innovation and evidence-based research has made us a preferred partner for government, industry, not-for-profit organizations, communities and individuals. Together, we are improving processes, developing new technologies and services, and creating new companies and social enterprises.
