To meet the growing expectations of our stakeholders within the province, BCIT is developing a more focused, collaborative and strategic approach to research. The Research Task Group (RTG) was formed to act as a catalyst to achieve this vision. The RTG will help ensure that the research BCIT conducts will continue to produce tangible contributions to our learners, employers and society.
The Research Task Group (RTG) was formed from the ‘BCIT Faculty and Staff Association Summit on Research at BCIT’ (May 25-26, 2009).
The members of the RTG are drawn from every school and many departments, and include staff, faculty, instructors, researchers and administrators from across the Institute.
RTG is here to foster collaborative research. It works with BCIT constituents, the community and industry to facilitate the success of a more focused, collaborative and strategic approach to research at BCIT.
RTG is a voice for every corner of BCIT.
RTG is comprised of a mosaic of BCIT talent.
RTG is chaired by Kim Dotto.
