UNM is New Mexico’s premier Research 1 (R1) institution, recognized among elite institutions that maintain a standard of ‘very high research activity.’ The research, innovation, and creative activity of our institution contributes critically to our educational mission, creates positive impacts for our community, and positions our students, faculty, and staff as leaders of societal and global change. Research & Discovery Week features an exciting schedule of events that showcase the excellence and diversity of UNM's research enterprise, promote resources and opportunities available to UNM researchers, and foster the principles of ethical, engaged, collaborative, and fulfilling scholarship. Most importantly, these events also highlight the unique contributions of our faculty, staff, and students to the intellectual capital of our institution and enable our collective ability to positively impact our communities, our state, our nation, and the world.
