Rules and regulations governing research and innovation can be numerous, complex, and sometimes difficult to navigate.
In 2015, the Division of the Vice-President, Research and Innovation (VPRI) initiated the STrengthening the Administration of Research (STAR) education and outreach program. The goal of the STAR program is to provide educational resources that support the University of Toronto’s (U of T’s) research and innovation community in the following.
- Understanding and successfully navigating all steps of the research and innovation life cycles
- Being aware of the distinct roles of the wide range of people carrying out and supporting research and innovation
- Staying current with relevant processes and systems
- Sharing best practices
- Networking with peers and experts
Following the success of the 2021 and 2022 STAR Workshop series, the online workshop format continues for 2023. Join your peers in expanding your knowledge on a range of research administration topics!
