At Temple University, research is driven by people. As I look across our university, I see faculty and researchers who are asking hard questions, pursuing new knowledge and applying their expertise to some of the most pressing challenges facing society. Their commitment shapes a culture that values relevance, collaboration and impact across disciplines.

One of Temple’s strengths is our ability to move ideas outward and connect scholarship and discovery with the needs of society. We bring together scholars from across the university with partners across Philadelphia, the nation and the world in the development of research-based innovations. In these pages, you will find just a sampling of Temple research, including work in areas such as sustainability, healthcare innovation, robotics and education research.

As Philadelphia’s public university, Temple embraces its responsibility to serve as a strong, engaged anchor institution for our city. The majority of our graduates remain in the Philadelphia region, fueling the local economy, strengthening organizations and contributing to the city’s long-term vitality. Our undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers also play an important role in our research, gaining experiences that prepare them to contribute to society with skill and purpose. Temple has long been an institution that opens doors and elevates people, and research is one of the most powerful ways we do that.
