Focuses on developing robotics systems for non-traditional applications in various industries such as agriculture, health care and service.

Re-Vision: The Centre for Art and Social Justice

Investigates the power of the arts, and especially story, to open up conversations about systemic (rather than individualized) injustices in health care, education, and the arts sectors.

Founded in 2012 by Dr. Carla Rice, the driving purpose of this arts methodology research hub is to support and equip academics, artists, activists and storytellers from justice-seeking communities seeking to shift misrepresentations with cutting-edge technological tools and methodologies.

Physical Science and Engineering Education Research Centre (PSEER)

Promotes discipline-based education research in engineering, computing, mathematical and physical sciences to improve the effectiveness of teaching and to contribute to a better understanding of learning processes in these disciplines.

Ontario Rural Wastewater Centre

Promotes environmentally sustainable development of rural and unsewered areas through training, demonstration and applied research on nutrient and agricultural-food waste management and rural municipal, wastewater treatment.
