The University of Alberta is committed to equity, diversity, inclusion, and access, and to deepening and living out commitments to Indigenization and decolonization. We strive to remove barriers that have been historically encountered by some people in Canadian society and in postsecondary environments to build an accessible, equitable, and inclusive culture in support of the full participation of our diverse workforce.

The Canada Research Chairs (CRCs) were established by the Canadian Government to foster research excellence. Tier 1 Chairs, tenable for seven years and renewable once, are for outstanding researchers acknowledged by their peers as world leaders in their fields.
