Has the institution developed a definition of sustainability research?:
A copy of the institution's definition of sustainability research:
“The Royal Roads University research model centers the production of useful knowledge and tools under the unifying theme of sustainability to reflect the four core pillars of the University - environmental sustainability, empowering leadership, entrepreneurial management and conflict analysis and management”.
Within a knowledge-based economy, our research model is action-oriented and problem-solving in nature, reflecting the evolving learner community that Royal Roads University has fostered.
The 2006 university strategic plan positions the university in terms of sustainable development:
"…we will be a leader in sustainable development. This will be achieved through environmental education, research, and a demonstration campus – also a national historic site and future home of the Robert Bateman Centre for Art and Environmental Education – that preserves, protects and showcases Canada's natural and cultural heritage.".
Has the institution identified its sustainability research activities and initiatives?:
