USask Centres

The University of Saskatchewan has a wide array of centres and institutes, which contribute to the vitality and creativity of the university in its pursuit of research, scholarly and artistic work, teaching and learning, and providing service to and meeting the needs of the community at large.

Centres strengthen, coordinate, and facilitate activities across these areas and offer new areas of activity consistent with the university’s strategic direction and priorities. Centre activities are integrated within the university to benefit the university as a whole.
