 The University of Victoria has a new research publication.
The Fast Lane, an eight-page newsletter on research and discovery at UVic, made its debut recently. Paper copies of the newsletter are currently being circulated around campus; electronic copies are available online in PDF format at www.uvic.ca/research.
The Fast Lane—the name is a play on the university’s research communications theme, “We’re going places”—is produced by UVic Communications for the Office of the Vice-President Research. It’s aimed primarily at decision-makers in government and business, influencers of research policy and funding, current and potential research partners and funders, and the national news media.
“This newsletter is one of the tools we’re using to build and sustain UVic’s reputation as a leading research university in Canada and demonstrate the benefits to society of UVic research, especially in areas of institutional strength,” says Dr. Martin Taylor, vice-president research.
Each issue of The Fast Lane will include a selection of short news items on UVic innovations, achievements and milestones that may be especially relevant to the current activities and priorities of the newsletter’s primary target audience. The newsletter also provides information on the substantial breadth and depth of the university’s research and knowledge transfer expertise.
The newsletter will be published twice a year, in spring and fall. Subscribe to The Fast Lane at the website listed above and an email alert will be sent to you when each new issue comes out.
