Working with collaborators across the university, the Enterprise for Research, Innovation and Knowledge (ERIK) recently released a multi-year strategic plan that affirms and strengthens our connections to the university's strategic vision, ensures alignment and a shared ambition across ERIK, and drives cascading goals, priorities and differentiators.
