Following months of information gathering and consultations with a broad range of stakeholders, we are pleased to share with you our new strategic plan, NSERC 2030: Discovery, innovation, inclusion. The plan lays out an ambitious vision for Canadian research excellence and the potential of natural sciences and engineering to benefit the well-being of humanity and of our planet.

NSERC 2030 is built around five pillars: supporting research excellence that strengthens Canada; expanding, diversifying, and nurturing Canada’s talent pool; translating discovery into impact, mobilizing knowledge on a global scale, and empowering our organization and our people. It emphasizes the overarching importance of equity, diversity, accessibility, and inclusion across all our programs and throughout the research ecosystem. It also commits to developing deeper and more meaningful engagement with Indigenous communities, organizations, researchers, and trainees and to exploring the role of science and research in the journey towards reconciliation
