Research is an essential component of the mission of Simon Fraser University and constitutes a major instructional activity as well, for faculty work closely with graduate and undergraduate students in a wide variety of research settings, including Library, laboratories, computer facilities and studios. Research collaborations reach out far beyond our campuses to include many projects conducted jointly with business and industry, community organizations and agencies in all levels of government.

During its brief history, Simon Fraser University has developed an extensive array of disciplines and interdisciplinary studies. Research is conducted within departments, through inter-departmental research groups, and in an unusual cluster of centres and institutes with specific research interests and needs.
