+We want to address the current limitations that prevent effective collaboration between U of T students, faculty, and international institutions or industry partners. This priority aims to reduce barriers—such as lack of structured global partnerships, and limited international collaboration opportunities within the curriculum—that make it difficult for U of T's community to engage with global partners. By expanding these opportunities, U of T seeks to foster more interdisciplinary and international projects, particularly in areas like healthcare, where global cooperation is essential.
