Applied Research at Conestoga
Conestoga College is a gateway for industry innovation. Each of Conestoga’s priority research areas support applied projects that meet the needs of industry and community partners. They also drive growth in the local and regional economy.
Research projects are integrated into the curriculum, giving students the opportunity to build innovation-enabling skills. Capstone, final-year thesis, curriculum and independent projects are an important avenue of applied research. Through these projects, one or more students – up to an entire class – explore solutions to a challenge facing a company or community organization.
Conestoga campuses are home to:
The Magna Centre for Supply Chain Excellence
The Craig Richardson Institute of Food Processing Technology

Virtual and Augmented Reality Lab (VARLab)
Technical training for high-stress careers must consider the emotional realities and impact of real-world scenarios. To ready students for career success and well-being, Conestoga’s Virtual and Augmented Reality Lab (VARLab) provides immersive and evidence-based learning simulations. For example, VARLab’s virtual Firefighting – Search and Rescue modules exemplify real-world rescue situations. Students learn critical decision-making skills and cultivate mental resilience and self-awareness, which are necessary for performance in the field.

Championing Sustainability
Conestoga’s School of Business is working with the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to address future sustainability challenges. As one of the first Canadian colleges to become a signatory, Conestoga has integrated PRME as a key pillar in the school’s strategic plan. This includes:
- Developing a micro-credential to embed PRME principles into faculty training
- Integrating open education resources in curriculum
- Offering paid student opportunities to drive engagement
Conestoga’s commitment to sustainable development was recognized with the Most Engaged Signatory and the Dean’s Excellence award at the PRME 2024 North America Chapter Biennial Meeting.
