Research Impact At Schulich – Spring 2026

Research Impact At Schulich – Spring 2026

The first few months of 2026 were fairly busy for our faculty! In addition to Research and PhD Day, our faculty made sure that Schulich was well represented in journals, in the media, and at events.

Of course, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention one of the most important Schulich research events of the year: Research and PhD Day 2026. With well over 100 registered attendees, this year’s Research and PhD Day was our largest – and most successful – Research and PhD Day to date.

You can read more about Research and PhD Day 2026 here – and feel free to check out the newly released Research and PhD Day 2026 highlight video and photo galleries.
