in agriculture, information technologies, resources, life
sciences and many others. The University of Regina
is situated along the Regina Knowledge Corridor,
which includes the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied
Science and Technology and Innovation Place Regina,
one of Canada's newest university-related research
parks, with a focus on petroleum and environmental
sciences research.

university students.
