Fleming College has climbed to the 28th position on Canada's Top 50 Research Colleges list as they were listed 35th in last year’s placement.
The annual ranking, published by Research Infosource Inc., recognizes colleges that drive research initiatives and contribute to Canada's knowledge economy. Rankings are based on research income through research grants, contracts and contributions from third parties. Data were obtained through surveys of publicly funded colleges and from 2022-2023 financial statements. During that time, Fleming had $4.858 million of sponsored research income, up 66.7 per cent from the previous year and a record-high amount for the college according to a press release.
“We are thrilled to see such a substantial increase in research funding and the tangible results of our strategic expansion into new areas of applied research at the college,” said Maureen Adamson, Fleming College president. “As we celebrate this milestone, we remain dedicated to fostering a culture of innovation and strong community collaboration to prepare our partners and students for the challenges of the future.”
Fleming College was also ranked fifth overall for industry research income between 2018-2023 amongst all medium-sized colleges.
