It is time to elevate selected areas of research to national distinction.
Research Centers of Excellence
Six areas have the greatest potential to solidify the reputation of The University of Toledo as a research institution of distinction.
- Alternative energy sources
- Astronomy and astrophysics
- Biotechnology
- Environmental quality
- Geographic information systems (GIS) and applied geographics
- Mathematics and science education
Moving these programs to international prominence is only possible if they are led by eminent scholars—and it is time to increase the number of endowed chairs and professorships in these six areas of research.
