Collège Boréal in the 2025 ranking of Canada’s Top 50 Research Colleges
Research and Innovation Boréal (RIB), Boréal’s research office, has once again been recognized as one of Canada’s Top 50 Research Colleges for 2025. This achievement highlights the institution’s role as a key partner for the communities and organizations it works with.
In the 2024–2025 fiscal year, 11 major projects helped advance research in areas as diverse as agriculture, construction, immigration, social innovation, and mental health.
In collaboration with private and university partners, and with the support of funders such as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Colleges and Institutes Canada, and the Consortium national de formation en santé (CNFS), RIB leads meaningful projects. These initiatives support food-waste management, soil rehabilitation, the socioeconomic integration of newcomers to Canada, access to health care for French-speaking communities, and efforts by Indigenous communities to reclaim the natural resources of their ancestral lands.
