Mission & Goals
U15 Canada is an association of fifteen leading research universities across Canada.

In this way, U15 Canada helps universities make a prosperous, sustainable and just future for all. Members of U15 Canada are those Canadian research-intensive universities that came together in 2012 to form an association dedicated to helping advance research and innovation policies and programs for the benefit of all Canadians.
