Research Centres

Research Centres are formally designated, non-departmental units facilitating collaborative research mainly within a single faculty. They may include in their membership SFU researchers from outside of the home faculty. The activities of a Research Centre support the research mission of its home faculty and require the support of its home faculty dean.

The following centres were established under SFU Policy R40.01 and are under the direct authority of the faculty dean.
