Often, science is about the small details 鈥� the tiny factors and data points that gradually point to exciting breakthroughs and world-changing firsts.

But sometimes, it鈥檚 about the big questions 鈥� like how can we maximize science鈥檚 benefit to Canada? How do we secure Alberta鈥檚 STEM talent pipeline for decades to come? And how do we ensure that science makes the world a better place, each and every day?

These questions have been at the forefront of the Faculty of Science for over a year during the creation of the faculty鈥檚 2030 strategic plan, Get Science Done. Following a rigorous consultation and development process, Science will unveil the plan with a launch event at the Ampersand building on May 22.

鈥淭he bottom line is that we are here to serve the community,鈥� says Dr. Kristin Baetz, dean of science. 鈥淭his faculty drives Alberta鈥檚 STEM talent pipeline and accelerates discovery and innovation to solve key challenges for all of us. Our new strategy is all about that 鈥� making science accessible to everyone and delivering tangible benefits for Canada.鈥�

Get Science Done鈥檚 lighthearted name reflects the can-do spirit of science, which was on full display during the extensive consultation process. The Faculty of Science鈥檚 strategy task team met with hundreds of students, faculty members, support staff, community representatives, and industry partners to gather their input and feedback. After further iterations, the resulting strategy was approved by the Faculty of Science Council in March 2024.

鈥淕et Science Done is aligned with the university鈥檚 Ahead of Tomorrow strategic plan and with Alberta鈥檚 needs,鈥� says Baetz. 鈥淎nd now, we鈥檙e excited to share it with everyone.鈥�

On May 22, university and community members are invited to the Ampersand building for a lively evening of science and discovery at the Get Science Done launch event. Beginning at 5:30 p.m, the event will feature a keynote talk, an industry panel, booths and exhibits, and a networking session, plus appetizers and beverages for all.

Attendees will also be able to get a first look at the Multidisciplinary Science Hub, the new state-of-the-art science building that will be built on campus following a funding announcement in Alberta鈥檚 2024 budget.

鈥淚t鈥檚 going to be a great event, and everyone is welcome,鈥� says Baetz. 鈥淪cience touches everyone鈥檚 lives, and we鈥檙e committed to transdisciplinarity across our whole university community. No matter what you study or work on, there will be something for you.鈥�

Attendees are asked to to help the Faculty of Science prepare accordingly.
