U15 Canada (U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities, French: U15 – Regroupement des universités de recherche du Canada) is an association of 15 Canadian public research universities. It is headquartered in Ottawa and was established in 1991 to represent its members' interests, primarily to provincial and federal governments, concerning the research enterprise and government programs supporting research and development.
Its member institutions undertake 80 per cent of all university research in Canada, and represent a research enterprise valued at more than $5 billion annually. Together, they contribute upwards of C$36 billion to the Canadian economy every year, and produce more than 70 per cent of all doctorates awarded in Canada.
