Foundation: 1969

Mission: The purpose of the Institute is basic and applied research, graduate studies and the training of researchers. Within the framework of this purpose and while pursuing the specific goals of university research, the Institute shall, in particular, direct its activities towards the economic, social and cultural development of Québec, while ensuring the transfer of knowledge and technologies in all sectors in which it operates.

Vision: INRS differs from traditional universities by its interdisciplinary organization of research by major strategic sectors, a characteristic that distinguishes it both in the design and execution of research projects and in the training offered to graduate students. INRS, through its mission, is dedicated to research in the service of Quebec society. Basic and applied research are sources of economic, social and cultural progress. INRS considers that, in a true research institute, the two approaches are inseparable. It is therefore the full force of interdisciplinary basic and applied research that is available to public and private partners, in Quebec, Canada and internationally, who wish to innovate in order to respond to the strategic issues of Quebec society.
