UPEI publishes new research magazine

UPEI’s new research magazine, InView, was officially launched at a celebration event held on the campus on Friday, September 26.

The full-colour magazine features the innovative and exciting research taking place at UPEI. The inaugural issue focuses on research projects in 2024–2025, ranging from a gene mutation linked with Parkinson’s disease to the impacts of working remotely on employees.

This issue explores 11 different research projects and also includes articles connecting research with teaching and learning, services, professional practice, and student experiences. The articles span UPEI’s five signature areas of research excellence: Humanity, Justice, and Organization; Environmental Stewardship; Healthy Communities; Healthy Animals; and Sustainable Development. Interdisciplinarity is a major theme in this issue with many of the projects straddling multiple research areas.

Dr. Greg Naterer, Vice-President, Academic and Research, congratulated and thanked Dr. Marva Sweeney-Nixon, Associate Vice-President Research and Dean of Graduate Studies, and Julie VanLeeuwen, Research Navigator, for their efforts on the publication of the magazine.

“UPEI’s researchers are advancing the frontiers of knowledge to make the province and our world a better place,” he said. “This new magazine lets the campus and the broader community know about the often-groundbreaking work that takes place across UPEI.”

Dr. Sweeney-Nixon said that the magazine celebrates research at UPEI.

“We want our researchers to know we are proud of the research and value what they do,” she said. “The magazine is also a great way for faculty members to learn about the research happening in different faculties or departments. Knowing about your colleagues’ research interests can lead to future research collaborations.”

UPEI is active in a wide range of fundamental and applied research and scholarly activities. The University gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the numerous government, community, and industry partners that support these research activities.

The digital version of InView is available here. Physical copies are available in the Office of Research Services, Kelley Memorial Building.
