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.

The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.
