5-Year Report

Over the past five years, the Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi) at 312 Main has grown into a dynamic hub for participatory, community-driven research at 51猎奇入口. Building on its origins in SFU鈥檚 University Steering Committee on Community-Engaged Research, CERi now connects scholars, students, and community partners through a network of programs that translate research into real-world impact. This Five-Year Report highlights the evolution of CERi鈥檚 programs, partnerships, and projects, from the 312 Main Research Shop and Indigenous Knowledge Research Exchange to collaborative initiatives addressing climate resilience, housing justice, and democratic engagement. Through our projects, publications and programs, we illustrate how CERi鈥檚 approach to co-creation, training, and knowledge mobilization advances a more inclusive and responsive university research culture. learn more
