The objectives of the Foundation are to establish and support a balanced long-term program of science and engineering research based in Alberta, directed to the discovery of new knowledge and the application of that knowledge to improve the quality of Alberta’s economy, communities and environment and, without limiting the generality of those objects, to:
- Stimulate research in science and engineering
- Promote effective means of using in Alberta the science and engineering resources available in Alberta
- Support science and engineering research laboratories and related facilities in Alberta
- Promote co-operation in research in science and engineering in order to minimize duplication in, and promote concentration of, effort in that research in Alberta
- Encourage young Albertans to pursue careers in research in science and engineering.
Alberta Ingenuity is governed by the following legislation:
