OVCR announces mission and vision

The OVCR leadership also developed a mission and vision for the research enterprise.

Our Vision: 

Expand human knowledge and creativity for a better Wisconsin and world.

Our Mission: 

To serve the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s research and learning communities in the pursuit of bold discoveries, scholarship, and creative works.

The next phase is to implement restructuring the OVCR to increase operational excellence and the quality of service, transparency, and efficiency.

The reorganization offers new opportunities for talent development, professional staff support for science, team evolution, strategic leadership across the University research enterprise, support for  large external grant and funding opportunities that will increase UW’s national prominence, cross-campus research support, interdisciplinary opportunities, and strengthening of both internal and external partnerships to advance the Wisconsin Idea.
