Less than 1/3 of Canadian universities have a searchable faculty experts directory.
And finding them is hard so we created this list to help journalists find academic experts to interview and industry looking for university partners.
Want to search from 25,000 academics in one place:
Go to Expertise Finder
An experts directory is an ideal way for journalists, conference organizers, researchers and industry partners to find an expert quickly. While for universities, colleges, businesses and law firms, it’s a powerful way to get experts found, particularly on Google.
Higher education institutions have publicly available experts directories. Unfortunately, in Canada only some universities have an experts directories so it’s often not worthwhile to go to their site in hopes of finding one.
