ABOUT MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY OF NEWFOUNDLAND
Perched on Canada’s North Atlantic coast, Memorial University is a destination for discovery. A beacon for the 21st-century explorer, Newfoundland and Labrador’s university is a unique learning community founded as a living memorial to those who lost their lives in the First World War — “that in freedom of learning their cause and sacrifice might not be forgotten.”
Uniquely positioned in the harsh maritime environment of Newfoundland and Labrador, Memorial boasts nationally and internationally leading research expertise. This is no more evident than in its world-renowned and longstanding ocean-related research. In fact, more than 40 per cent of Memorial’s research is ocean-related and its faculty members are global experts in fields such as ocean engineering and science, offshore industry and policy, and technology. That work is supported by world-class research and facilities – such as the world’s largest flume tank – and strong public partnerships with the people, industries and organizations that live and work here. If there’s ocean research happening in the North Atlantic, Memorial is likely involved.
