The Institute Research Committee (IRC) brings together research faculty and managers from across BCIT to identify common and emerging areas of research expertise and interest. This committee cultivates interdisciplinary research themes where faculty and students from across the institute work together on research programs and projects. The IRC, and School Research Committees, came out of the Research Task Group, which was formed to develop a more focused, collaborative and strategic approach to research at BCIT.
The Institute Research Committee is also the decision making body for the Institute Research Funds projects, and research projects or initiatives that require resources to be allocated at the Institute Level.
