UBC Science's last strategic plan, Advancing Science, was developed in 2011 and renewed in 2017. This plan guided the Faculty's collective efforts over two years, and helped shape UBC's strategic plan, Shaping UBC’s Next Century.
It focused on four key initiatives—research excellence, teaching excellence, computer and data science, and innovation—while also continuing to renew and build on nine core areas and commitments originally articulated in Advancing Science 2011.
